Stripe Manual ACH Validation Process

This guide explains how to complete the ACH validation process required for your bank account. Follow the steps below to verify your account and start using ACH payments securely.


Overview

To ensure your bank account can securely process transactions, Stripe requires verification through a one-cent micro-deposit sent to your account. This deposit includes a unique 6-digit code that you’ll need to confirm to complete the process.


Step-by-Step Process

1. Check Your Email for the Verification Link

  1. After completing checkout, you’ll receive an email from Shuttle Global with a link to start the verification process.
  2. The email will inform you that a one-cent deposit has been sent to your bank account. This deposit will typically appear within 1-2 business days.

Tip: Look for a description that includes a code starting with "SM" (e.g., "SM1234").


2. Locate the Verification Code in Your Bank Statement

  1. Check your bank statement for the one-cent deposit.
  2. Find the 6-digit code included in the transaction description. It will begin with "SM."

3. Enter the Verification Code

  1. Click the link provided in the email to access the verification page.
  2. Enter the 6-digit code exactly as it appears in your bank statement.
  3. Click Verify and Pay to complete the verification process.

    • If you’ve made several unsuccessful attempts, contact our support team to restart the process.


FAQs
