Anthropic Considers Bringing Payment Infrastructure In-House
The fast-growing artificial intelligence startup is planning to build its own billing and payment systems in order to reduce its reliance on the Stripe platform.
Following a major surge in its revenue, AI company Anthropic is considering developing its billing, payment, fraud prevention, and tax infrastructure in-house.
Rapid Growth and Infrastructure Search
Anthropic has put the possibility of building its own financial infrastructure on the table as its revenue has increased significantly compared to the same period last year.
This rapid growth rate of the company is driving management to take new steps toward creating its own infrastructure rather than receiving external services.
Reducing Reliance on Stripe
Currently relying on the Stripe infrastructure for payments, the company aims to reduce this dependency, in line with assessments reflected in job postings.
The assessments cover core financial operations such as billing, payment systems, fraud detection, and tax processes.
Strategies of Other AI Companies
Other major players in the sector are also making similar strategic decisions regarding payment infrastructures and following different methods.
OpenAI chose not to rely on a single processor by moving card data to an independent intermediary and adding the Adyen platform alongside Stripe.
