Payouts and account ownership

Payments

Payouts go only to a bank account held in the exact legal name of the business.

Payout accounts in a personal name, a relative’s name or another company’s name

Changing the payout account shortly after a large sale without verification

Using one bank account for businesses you do not own

A current account in the legal name, confirmed with a bank letter or cancelled cheque

Sole proprietors using an account in the proprietor’s name, when the business is registered that way

Matching names is how we make sure your customers’ money reaches your business, and not someone who has taken over your account.

The channel that looks after it may warn or suspend. Scams and illegal content are acted on straight away.
