# Why did Stripe ask me to review my account information?

Stripe periodically asks you to review and confirm the information we have on file. You may have received an email asking you to review details like your legal name and address.
### Is this email legitimate?
Yes, if the email comes from Stripe at **notifications@stripe.com**.
When in doubt, you  can review or update your account information by signing in to the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/) directly.
Stripe will never ask for your password, bank credentials, or other sensitive information via email.
### Why does Stripe need this?
We know your business changes over time and it‘s important that we have up-to-date information. This helps us secure your account and meet regulatory requirements. This is a common practice across the payments industry.
### What do I need to do?
If everything in the email looks correct, no action is needed. If anything needs updating, select the button in the email to make changes in the Stripe Dashboard.
### Are there any consequences if I don‘t respond?
Your account will continue to function normally if you don‘t respond. We encourage you to keep your information updated to avoid a required verification in the future.
