How to set up KLEAR's payment features
Identity Verification
In order to access payment features, you must first verify your organization’s identity. This process is hosted by Stripe and will create a connect account for your organization. Go to “Treasury” on the left side menu.
Next, click “Connect Stripe”, and you will be redirected to a verification flow hosted by Stripe. In this flow, you will be verifying your organization identity as well as your own.
You may be asked to provide the following information:
- Business structure
- Business legal name
- Business address
- Employer Identification Number
- DBA if applicable
- Business industry, and business website.
Stripe may also collect, verify, and maintain information on a company’s owners — known as “beneficial owners” — and persons with significant control.
You will also be asked to provide your own identity, including your:
- Full legal name
- Email address
- Date of birth
- Home address
- Phone number
- Last 4 numbers of your Social Security Number or a photo of a government-issued ID.
You can pause the process anytime and resume when needed. Everyone in your organization will have access to the onboarding process, so you can assign another team member if any of the organization information is unknown to you. You may find more information about the process on Stripe’s support page: https://support.stripe.com/questions/what-do-i-need-to-do-to-verify-my-stripe-account
If you pause the onboarding process, click “Save for Later” or exit the page. Your progress will be saved and you can click “Continue” at any time from KLEAR to start from where you left off.
If your industry is not listed on Stripe, choose the industry that best matches your organization’s activities.
During the process, you will be prompted to accept the terms of service of Stripe to open your connect account, and in the future, have the option to open a KLEAR financial account.
After entering all of the information and agreeing to the terms, your information will be verified by Stripe. Once your identity and your organization’s identity have been verified, you will see the following screen:
Connect External Accounts
You will see a new tab after verification is complete: External accounts. Here, you can connect your organization’s bank account(s) to enable payouts and the ability to open a KLEAR financial account.

You will be able to manage these features through Klear’s platform.

*KLEAR partners with Stripe Payments Company for money transmission services and account services with funds held at Fifth Third Bank and Evolve Bank and Trust, Members FDIC. Stripe Treasury Accounts are eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance if they meet certain requirements. The accounts are eligible only to the extent pass-through insurance is permitted by the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and if the requirements for pass-through insurance are satisfied. The FDIC insurance applies up to 250,000 USD per depositor, per financial institution, for deposits held in the same ownership capacity. Neither Stripe nor Klear are FDIC insured institutions. The FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of an FDIC insured depository institution.
