The payment service behind many platforms, why it checks your identity, and how long it takes.

Stripe is the payment service many platforms use to take card payments and pay sellers. Before it can send you money, the law requires it to check who you are.

Why the identity check

Payment services must verify the people they pay. Stripe asks for your identity and a bank account, once.

What you prepare

An identity document, your address, and a bank account in your name. It usually takes a few minutes.
