Disbursement to checking account

[bartlby]

In Option Two of Step 4 (p. 23) of Amazon Ghost, Aspkin says "some banks don't like it when you have funds being deposited to your account in a different name." Why is this relevant? Does Amazon, when it disburses funds to your checking account, send a document that, in addition to specifying the routing number and account number, says something like "Deposit to the account of ________" where the blank includes the name you have furnished Amazon?

I had assumed until I pondered this that since Amazon can't verify the name on the checking account they send just the routing and account numbers.

This isn't just academic curiosity. Understanding exactly what Amazon does will help determine my name selection.

Better question is what bank will you use bartlby? Easier to tell you if that bank is good for stealth

Majority of the time, only routing & checking numbers are used.

However, some banks have issues if they ever review the account & determine name variations.

If you mention your bank of choice, we can confirm if it is fine.

Good planing to be doing this now.
