So you already have a UK bank account? Then you shouldn't have any problem. Try their support on the site to clarify
 
When we opened a UK based Stripe we just provided bank details and obviously used business email address and details.

This may help too;

Hi,
No, As far as my experience go.
But bear in mind they can always ask for one if they feel the need due to various reason ie foreign transactions
 
Wrong. If you do from other countries and they will see your IP it is not UK based they will limit your account until you provide nino

A friend of mine tried and they ask him questions after reach 100 gbp
 
You won't get a bank account as non resident.
Even when you have NIN it's not a proof for banks.

Wrong again. You need to be black hat in real life and you will have easy a bank account on hsbc.

I do it before when I come in UK. Not a big deal.
 
How exactly, elaborate please

I already explained before. You must find a company who recruit people. Even hotels or cleaning toilets doesn't matter.

They will gave you a latter to prove at bank you will work for them and you need card to get payed.
 
What other Government ID or proof they ask for?
