How do I link a bank account?

To link a bank account you'll need to go to settings, validate business information with Stripe, then connect your bank account via Plaid.
  1. Go to Settings ⚙️
  2. Click the Bank Accounts tab
  3. Click Validate Business Information
    • This form is sent directly to Stripe, Beam’s payment processor.
    • Stripe requires this information to verify that you are the legal owner (or authorized representative) of the business.
    • This is part of required identity verification (KYC – Know Your Customer) for payment processing.
  4. Once submitted, verification typically takes 30–60 seconds.
