‘Irish talent has been integral to Stripe from the beginning and we’re proud to keep investing in it,’ said vice-chair Eileen O’Mara.
Stripe is creating 200 new jobs at its Dublin co-headquarters, which serves as its hub for operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and for developing company products globally.
The Irish-founded fintech giant said the new roles would cover disciplines such as engineering and go-to-market. Its current Dublin site opened almost a year ago and serves as one of two Stripe dual HQs alongside its San Francisco office.
“In the last decade, Dublin has established itself as the twin engine of Stripe’s growth story globally,” said the company’s vice-chair Eileen O’Mara. “The continued expansion of our Irish team reflects both the strong demand for Stripe’s products and services in Europe, and Ireland’s status as one of the best places in the world to build and scale global operations.
“Irish talent has been integral to Stripe from the beginning and we’re proud to keep investing in it.”
Stripe already employs around 1,000 people in Ireland – up 35pc throughout 2026 – and also has offices in cities such as London, Paris, Singapore and Tokyo. According to the company, it serves 86,000 Irish client businesses.
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke, TD said: “As well as the significant employment opportunities being announced today, Stripe’s investment highlights Ireland’s strengths in talent, innovation and our ability to support global operations.
“As Ireland’s economy continues to evolve, companies such as Stripe play an important role in advancing new technologies, developing world-class expertise and enhancing Ireland’s international competitiveness.
“The Government remains committed to fostering a competitive business environment that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and the adoption of emerging technologies.”
In their annual letter, published in February, founding brothers Patrick and John Collison said businesses running on Stripe generated $1.9trn in total volume in 2025, up 34pc on 2024. Around the same time, Stripe hit a $159bn valuation through an employee tender offer.
Over the summer, the fintech heavyweight was reported to be working with US private equity firm Advent International to jointly acquire PayPal, before the deal fell through at the end of August.
Dónal Travers, executive director of IDA Ireland, said Stripe’s plans to further invest in its home country were “a clear endorsement of Ireland’s highly skilled and deep talent base, and of Dublin’s position as a global international financial services and technology hub”.
