If you are a Corporation, Registered Charity or Non Profit Organization you are required to verify your business and directors’ information. Stripe will check the business name, business address, and director information you have submitted on your account against the information available with the provincial and/or federal registries of businesses. This means that we will check your:

• Company Name, as it appears on the registry
• Company address, as it appears on the registry
• The number of Directors listed on the registry
• The Name for each director on the registry

If your directors’ information submitted with Stripe cannot be found, does not completely match the information in the registry, or if your business name or address submitted on Stripe does not completely match the name and address listed on the registry of businesses, you will have to update the information on the registry or review the information provided to Stripe. We might restrict your ability to accept payments or make payouts to your bank account until the information matches completely.
