Stripe may request bank account verification to confirm the legal owner's name and account number match the information on the user's Stripe account. The type of account registration required depends on the user's business type and location. Most commonly, submitting a bank account statement or a voided/cancelled check can satisfy this requirement.
If Stripe cannot automatically verify the bank account information provided for a Stripe account, we may be required to request bank account verification in order to confirm that the legal owner name and account number of the bank account are the same as the one we have identified on your Stripe account.
If you are an individual, your bank account needs to be registered under the business owner name listed on your Stripe account.
If you are a sole proprietor, partnership, or single member LLC, your bank account needs to be registered under your business DBA or representative name of your Stripe account.
If you are an LLC, corporation, or non-profit, Stripe requires that the bank account be in the company’s legal business name or DBA.
Most commonly, this requirement can be satisfied by submitting one of the following documents.
US-based businesses:
- A bank account statement
- A bank letter head
- A voided check
UAE-based businesses:
- A bank account statement
India-based businesses:
- A bank account statement
- A cancelled cheque
