Dock vs Stripe Treasury

Dock provides payments and banking technology that companies can use to create financial services for customers. Its Dock One platform is intended to support operations across markets, with cloud-native architecture, one API integration point, and configuration by country, currency, and business model. Dock describes its architecture as modular and event-based. The core ledger handles multiple currencies and balances, customizable accounts, transaction rules, approval flows, and reports. Spending Control sets limits by merchant type, time, amount, and period, individually or in groups. Dock lists card issuing, digital accounts, acquiring, and fraud prevention among its services. Its white-label banking includes digital accounts, branded debit cards, Pix transfers, bill payments, and boleto payments. Acquiring supports in-person and online payment acceptance through options including POS, TEF, Pix, Tap On Phone, payment links, APIs, and Pix Checkout. Fraud tools include real-time transaction monitoring and communication by SMS, WhatsApp, and email. Dock says it is regulated by Brazil's Central Bank. Pricing is on request; the listed supported region is Latin America.

Stripe Treasury combines banking and payments functions so businesses can receive, store, send, and spend funds in one place. Stripe says businesses can open an account in minutes and access settled Stripe payment balances instantly. The service supports USD, OUSD, GBP, and EUR balances, instant currency conversion starting at 0.5% of the converted amount, and payouts to 160+ countries through traditional and stablecoin networks; payout and FX fees may apply. Virtual and physical debit cards include spending limits, reporting, real-time authorization controls, and 2% cashback, subject to exclusions for cash-like, high-risk resale, gambling, and government payment transactions. Xero and QuickBooks integrations, balance and transaction reporting, and automated reconciliation support accounting workflows. Treasury also supports agent workflows through Stripe’s Model Context Protocol, including paying invoices, moving funds, converting currencies, and issuing cards. ACH funding is included, wire funding is $2.00 per wire, and there are no storage fees or minimum balance requirements. Stripe is a financial technology company, not a bank; checking accounts are provided exclusively by Fifth Third Bank, National Association. Eligible USD funds there may be insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per institution, subject to conditions.
