Hertz reached an agreement with Stripe Inc. for the processing of customer payments for its global car-rental business, adding to the financial-technology firm’s roster of clients that also includes Amazon and Uber. Stripe will process payments for the rental-car company’s in-person bookings at around 3,000 corporate-owned Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty locations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as online reservations, according to a statement Thursday. As part of the deal, Stripe also will add Apple Pay for customers using the Hertz app and website.
