- Streamline team management and SSO from a centralized location.
- Perform custom SQL queries with [Sigma](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-data/how-sigma-works.md) across all accounts.

| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Global expansion**        | Create separate Stripe accounts for each country or region to take advantage of local acquiring.       |
