A Stripe spokesperson said the funding will be used for growth areas including international expansion with Stripe CEO Patrick Collison also announcing on Twitter of a new board member, former Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene.

I haven’t said much in the past about @Stripe‘s board. We’re fortunate to add Diane Greene, our fourth outside director today. (All four have to put up with myself and John, for six in total.)
