Phone numbers are required as part of Stripe’s onboarding process. Stripe is required by our financial partners to collect phone numbers associated with the business/legal entity and/or the persons associated with the Stripe account. This information helps Stripe further understand the business and the persons associated with the account.

When opening a Stripe account in the United States, we require:

• Business phone number: A valid and active US-based phone number.
  • If your Stripe account is set up as Individual/Sole Prop type, business phone number isn't required.
• Customer support number: A valid phone number (can be in any country). This can be the same as the business phone number.
  • The customer support number is shared with card networks and surfaced on cardmember statements and transaction details including payment statements, invoices, and receipts.
• Representative/owner number: A valid phone number (can be in any country).
  • If your Stripe account is set up as Individual/Sole Prop type, the representative/owner phone number must be an active US-based phone number.
