Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

I am confused, can someone elaborate regarding getting creative and Amazon detecting it immediately? How? I mean editing a .pdf is a walk in the park, and you can scan it to make sure the file is clean. How in the world would Amazon detect it right away? They don't have access to this information correct? As far as I know they only see the account number and routing number, this is why they are allowing mismatched information in the first place, if they could verify that no mismatched name/address on a bank account would've ever worked. Did things change in the last so many years where they can now somehow see and verify the name/address of the bank account?

Another question, what if the bank account on file is in the name of the point of contact rather than the LLC on file? Would that go through?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Not gonna go through. And point of contact name also not gonna go through.

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Great, that explains everything. lol
I appreciate the response but what is this based on? Does anyone know why things wouldn't get past through? Or are we just guessing that most likely they won't get accepted? I'm just as confused as before. What is the reason that it wouldn't fly?

1. Amazon has a way to check if bank number matches owner name and address.
2. Amazon has very advanced tools to detect if a document has been altered.
3. Amazon checks the file you send them to find out if it's been edited.
4. We have no idea how Amazon knows but they always do.

Which one is it?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

So far the way to go it seems is get creative and use the name it wants to see on the verify process. As one person here has had success going that route. I will likely go that route also soon, but I'm monitoring the amazon forum and this forum for more info first. So far amazon seems to be trying to figure out what to do about the situation of LLC or Corporations with bank accounts in corp name and the verify process wanting to see the original person who opened account. I'm waiting it out for a little bit to see what happens.

Can anyone confirm that Amazon can’t see the address on the bank


We had 5 accounts linked after submitting this & all 5 were at the same address


Triple checked everything. only suspect so far is the bank? If not the bank amazon has a brand new way to detect users with multiple accounts as these accounts operating the same for 6+ years

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

In uk they can match the name, banks share the name of person/company

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

What bank was this? Check your bank’s privacy policy. Mercury says in their privacy policy that they share info with amazon and some other banks are very vague.

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Was it one bank, one routing number with 5 different accounts on it? Or was it 5 different banks, each with a bank account, however, the name and address of the person on the account was the same on all 5 bank accounts?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Chase bank

5 different bank accounts all at the same address

did chase bank share the address on account with amazon?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Did you submit bank statements on 5 different amazon accounts to verify the bank accounts and all had same address on the bank statements?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Of course not. The submitted statements matched info on the account exactly as amazons requirements

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Duly noted - proper

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

I have an individual account on Amazon but have been sending to a business account not in my name.

I wonder if I should just change my deposit method NOW to a personal account in my own name which is the same as in Amazon as the legal entity.

Would this be a good idea because it would seem to get around the whole mismatch of name issue.

The business accout Amazon pays into to is a joint account and I dont want to create any additional issues.

What do people think?

ps not received bank account verification notification yet and this is for the USA where Ihave a non resident US account

pps ..I am curious if non USA tax resident Amazon accounts are being asked to re verify as I have not seem any posts about this...

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Did they immediately link them? or after you were successfully verified? I've successfully verified 3 Chase accounts

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Immediate, you should be fine

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

We're talking about 3 chase accounts on 3 different amazon accounts ya?

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

Yeah. They are linking him some other way.

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

If we're talking g about linking amazon can link you even WRONGLY to other people.

Remember when they linked people's friends accounts a few years ago and nuked them all?

amazon is a tech company... people need to realize that and they can be really retarded at times.

Re: Action required: Verify your Amazon seller bank account information
 

For the members who have already attempted...

Any recent developments here?
Successes and failures regarding being creative?

Bank: Wells

- I have mismatched bank account name that has been receiving deposits for over 2 years no issues.

- Changed PDF bank statement to match Amazon's specific name request

- Changed address on PDF to match address on file with Amazon.

About ready to pull the trigger and submit.
