   * If your business has multiple beneficial owners, you will be asked to provide identity details for each owner.
1. You’ll see a new USD Stablecoin balance on the [Balances page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/balance/overview) of your Dashboard. It may take a few minutes for us to set up your account details. You’ll receive an email when it’s complete.
