Indeed, just find a local/regional issuer that can issue AUD cards with some kind of relayed authorization feature. This is also called co-branding. Then you don’t need any financial license yourself typically.

Identity was built in-house over the last decade from learnings from Stripe’s experience as a payment company.
We’ve invested heavily in creating an end-to-end verification product with an ergonomic API, responsive capture experience, and advanced fraud detection and verification capabilities.
Scaling ID verification globally also means working with others—we supplement our homegrown system with a number of partners for the best experience for the user. (e.g. Analogous to Stripe credit card payments, we also work with banking institutions.)
Thanks for the detailed reply, Edwin!
The Stripe Identity product is fantastic. Some of the most impressive things:
1. If you are at a desktop, there is an easy transition to using your phone to take a picture of your ID (or a selfie if that's the use case - it will match selfies with ID photos), and then complete verification on the desktop.
2. It does all the image analysis (i.e. is the ID in focus, etc.) in browser without the need for a native app.
This sounds exactly how Onfido does this as well. Either it's inspired by this, or they are just wrapping the Onfido APIs.
Given their docs state that they use third-party services to offer this service, isn't Stripe just providing a wrapper API around Onfido and charging a premium? If so, how is this really a useful proposition?

If you guys could easily start over, would you have still picked Go given the problems you encountered? Or would Java have been a more likely candidate?
We are felyx, an innovative scale-up with ambitious plans for sustainable and shared urban transport. The coming years we are facing hyper-growth in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Therefore, we are looking for ambitious Full Stack Developers to build our new technological architecture, the foundation of the company.
We are a young and driven scale-up, with our innovative and sustainable tech platform, we are making swift door-to-door transportation the new status quo. Working together with an ambitious team of entrepreneurs, operators and engineers, we are looking to grow as we scale the business throughout Europe.
We are currently hiring full-stack software engineers to work on our new back-end system from scratch. This will be a greenfield project in which we will be primarily using Go. Our back-end system will need to handle millions of requests a day so if you have past experience in designing systems with scalability in mind you might be a good fit for these positions. No experience with Go is required, although it is slightly preferred. We care about code quality. A lot. We don’t ship code without sufficient test coverage. Does that sound like you and do you want to make social impact on urban mobility and drive change? Great! We want you! Please check the job descriptions for more information and use our API to apply. We look forward to hear from you!
