Can platforms enable onboarding for Express accounts globally?

The ability of platforms to enable onboarding for Express accounts globally is restricted. Express accounts are designed primarily for platforms looking to provide a streamlined onboarding experience to their users, typically for those in specific regions.

The onboarding process for Express accounts is tailored to comply with various regulatory requirements, which can differ significantly from one country to another. Thus, while the Stripe Connect platform enables the creation of Express accounts, it does not support global onboarding uniformly. There are specific requirements and functionalities that prevent the onboarding process from being available in every jurisdiction worldwide.

This distinction also highlights the importance of understanding regional compliance and the limitations based on geographic regulations, which play a crucial role in how financial technologies like Stripe operate across different markets.
