Summary
Stripe supports three modes of verification:
Via Plaid, a third-party application that authenticates bank information.
Via micro-deposits, wherein the customer communicates the precise amounts (which are usually in cents, hence the name) transferred to the bank account to prove that the person has access to their bank statements.
Via Financial Connections, which is Stripe's proprietary instant verification method, can be used to access users' financial data with permission. This data includes tokenized account and routing numbers, balances, ownership details, and transactions.
Financial Connections provides a secure platform for your customers to link their bank accounts to your business, enabling the secure sharing of this vital financial information. Note : Chargebee integration will opt for direct charges.
