Important: Before proceeding, please ensure you have the relevant documentation ready to expedite the Stripe account verification process. You can read more about the documentation requirements for different countries here.
What is Stripe?
GameDay partners with Stripe for secure financial services. In order to facilitate settlement payouts to your organisation, GameDay and Stripe requires that your organisation successfully completes the required "Know Your Customer" (KYC) obligations.
"Know Your Customer" (KYC) obligations for payments require Stripe to collect and maintain information on all Stripe account holders. These requirements come from Stripe’s regulators and are intended to prevent abuse of the financial system.
You can read more about Stripe's KYC obligations and the collection of relevant information here.
The status of the KYC Financial Configuration will not affect payments successfully being processed via the payment gateway.
The below guide outlines the process of setting up your Stripe account if your organisation is located in Ireland.
