Stripe Verified is a new service that helps you navigate global requirements for payment processing and financial solutions with personalized monitoring, enhanced protections, and expert assistance.

Currently, Verified is in private preview and available by invitation only to a limited number of Stripe users in the United States. Eligible users do not need to provide additional business information to enroll in Verified; they can simply accept the Terms of Service to gain access.

Users eligible for Verified will receive an automated email and Dashboard notification, and they can get started in as little as two minutes. Verified could change in functionality and price before it becomes generally available.

No, Verified is not a prerequisite for maintaining your Stripe account.

Stripe conducts regular account assessments to ensure all businesses meet the requirements for payment and financial services, notifying you when action is needed. Failing to provide this regularly required information might impact your account’s operation.

Verified provides extended timelines and options for meeting certain requirements when needed.

You can get your business running on Stripe in minutes, as we empower millions of businesses to start processing payments quickly and easily. When you create a Stripe account, you’ll provide some initial and ongoing business and personal information for verification.

If your account has been closed, you will receive an email at your registered address explaining the reason for the closure, and your Stripe Dashboard will display a red banner with additional details. If you believe there’s been a misunderstanding regarding your business or its classification, please complete the form linked in the email for reevaluation by our team.

Please note that some businesses and industries cannot use Stripe’s services due to regulatory or risk requirements. If your business is on our restricted business list, we cannot process payments for you. Our team will work with you to understand your options and provide clarity on any next steps where possible.
