Which account structure is described as unified or regional for Stripe platform accounts?

• A. Unified or regional Stripe platform accounts
• B. Platform accounts
• C. Local merchant accounts
• D. Global payout accounts

Answer: (A)

Stripe Connect lets platforms organize how funds and compliance responsibilities are handled by choosing between unified and regional account structures. In a unified setup, the platform and all connected accounts operate under one Stripe account, giving a single balance and payout workflow managed by the platform. In a regional setup, you maintain separate Stripe accounts for different regions, which helps meet local regulations, tax reporting, and supports local currencies and payment methods. This framing—whether you use a single shared (unified) account or region-specific (regional) accounts—describes unified or regional Stripe platform accounts.
