The company's recurring revenue (ARR) has now reached $1 billion, and its latest funding round raised $330 million, increasing its valuation to $8 billion.PANews reported on December 9th that Jack Zhang, founder and CEO of enterprise payments and financial platform Airwallex, revealed that Stripe offered $1.2 billion to acquire Airwallex back in 2018.
