These requirements come from their regulators and financial partners, and are intended to promote transparency and prevent individuals from using complex company structures to hide terrorist financing, money laundering, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.

If you have received a warning email from Stripe notifying you of the requirements to ensure your account remains operational, please login to your Stripe account to provide the documents requested. Failing to do so on time will stop payouts and limit your account flow!!
