I’ve been trying to get through Stripe’s BS for awhile now, I’ve submitted 20+ applications with them trying numerous things and constantly getting rejected. Today I submitted an application through a third party app and I received this Email from Stripe which I never have before -


"We wanted to let you know when to expect payouts to your bank account as you begin processing payments.

Once you begin processing payments, 50% of the funds for each transaction will be held on a rolling basis for 14 days. This means that 50% of funds will transfer to your bank account 2 days after the transaction is completed, while the last 50% of the funds for each transaction will be released to your bank 14 days after that transaction took place, on a rolling basis. (If the release day falls on a non-business day, the payout will arrive on the next business day.)

Since you’re new to Stripe and we’re just getting to know your business, we hold these funds to cover any potential chargebacks or disputes. If you have a well-established processing history with another payments provider, we would be happy to reevaluate with that additional information. Please send us your last 12 months of processing statements (a 12 month summary document is best!). We’ll let you know if we can make any adjustments to your payout plan.

Otherwise, we need to observe at least three months of processing history with Stripe before re-reviewing. Please email us at that time if you’d like us to reevaluate.

Thanks,

Stripe”




I’m hoping this is the truth and they’re not going to come back and ban me within a week or when I accept my first payment. Anyone else gotten this Email before? Curious if Stripe’s changed the way they run.
 
I receive payments after 7 days. If you are paying taxes and have a legit business then you are on the safe side.

Are you from a western country
 
If you have over 1% charge back there are gonna ban you anyway.

USA. I’ve had many accounts get banned from Stripe, I’m not in the best spot with any payment processor - I sell Social Media Activity so I try to front the business with other services.
 
This is just a rolling reserve that is more common with credit card gateways than you think, for EU the payouts are always 7 days with Stripe, since your are from U.S and got rejected so many times and got notification for rolling reserve means your niche is too risky by nature or the details you used might be malicious on their eyes.. perhaps it's just a bank that you use.

Right, in the past I’ve gotten the Email from Stripe where they change payouts to 7 days - then ban me after the first payment, etc. But this is the first time I’ve gotten this Email from them. Probably going to create a payment in the dashboard and see what happens .
 
Right, I’m aware. I signed up under a graphic design company with a Instagram page as the business website.
There are real people working in stripe. Not bots. They are well aware people trying to game the system.

Make sure atleast first few transactions are done for graphic design purposes. But you will get banned sooner or later.

Those restricted businesses are defined not by stripe. They are by bank that stripe uses to handle money. So they don't play around. They can lose their licence.
