The problem

Stripe flagged your account because the business owner is in Lisbon but the shop ships from Memphis. Funds are frozen and the chat bot keeps asking for the same documents.

Our solution

We assemble the full KYB packet Stripe actually wants, escalate through their underwriter channel, and represent you on calls with a US contact number.

The problem

Our solution

We assemble the full KYB packet Stripe actually wants, escalate through their underwriter channel, and represent you on calls with a US contact number.

Why cross-border accounts get held

Mismatched directors, foreign IDs, and shipping origins that don't match the billing country all increase manual review weight.

The packet that actually unfreezes accounts

Apostilled passport, proof of US business address, EIN letter, supplier invoices, fulfillment proof, and a signed director statement.

Prevention beats recovery

We set the account up correctly the first time so reviews never trigger.
