Creating a bank account for my Amazon account
 

I've been told that I must open a bank account using all real information. This includes my name and address.

1) Will Amazon be able to check the address on the bank account? I'm worried about being linked.
2) My SSN is stored with Amazon and that can get me linked so I now have an EIN. Will using my SSN on my new bank account link me as well?
3) Is it a red flag that Amazon is asking for my credit card information as well as my bank routing number during the registration process? I haven't even reached seller central yet.

Hi there,
Amazon cannot check the details on the bank account unless they perform a zipcode check on the credit card you are using.
They cant check your SSN on a bank account.
Amazon always ask for all the details up front, credit card, bank numbers, phone numbers and addresses etc.
Thanks
