What are the details required to verify my bank account?
Zoho Payments requires you to provide your bank account details (Routing and account numbers) to facilitate payouts. You can enter the details manually or connect your account through Stripe Financial Connections, a third-party service provider. Learn how to connect your bank account.
When providing the bank account details, ensure the following:
- The account is a checking account.
- For individuals, the account should be in the business owner or representative’s name.
- For sole proprietorship and single-member LLCs, the account can be in the legal name, doing business as name, or business owner’s name.
- For non-profits and other companies, the account can be in the legal name or doing business as name.
After submitting the bank account details, you’ll be requested to submit additional documents to complete the verification process. This allows us to confirm the ownership of the bank account and then process payouts.
