Step by step
1
Click "Connect My Bank Account"
On your My Story Page, scroll to the Fundraising section and click the gold button. You'll be redirected to Stripe — our secure payment partner. Stripe is the same company that powers Shopify, Amazon, and millions of other businesses. Your information is completely safe.
2
Enter your personal information
Stripe will ask for your legal name, date of birth, home address, and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. This is required by US financial law to verify your identity before sending you money. Stories of Endo never sees this information — it goes directly to Stripe.
This is the same verification any bank or payment app requires. It's how Stripe confirms you are who you say you are before sending payments to your account.
3
Fill in the business details screen
Stripe will ask for "business" information. Don't worry — you are not a business. Here's exactly what to enter:
Industry: Select "Fundraising" or "Non-profit"
Website: Type storiesofendo.org
That's it. Two fields. This is just Stripe's compliance requirement — it applies to everyone, including individuals receiving donations.

Connect your bank account
Enter your bank routing number and account number — or search for your bank and log in directly. This is where your donations will be deposited. Stripe pays out automatically on a daily schedule.
Don't have your routing and account number? Find them at the bottom of a check, or log into your online banking and look under account details.

Common questions
Why does Stripe ask for my Social Security Number?
US financial law requires identity verification before sending money to anyone. Stripe uses your SSN last 4 digits to confirm your identity. They never share this with Stories of Endo or anyone else. It's the same requirement your bank has.
Why does it ask about a business? I'm not a business.
Stripe uses the same onboarding flow for everyone — individuals and businesses alike. Just select "Fundraising" for industry and use storiesofendo.org as your website. That's all it needs. You are not registering a business.
Is my information safe?
Yes. Stripe is one of the most secure payment companies in the world. Your personal and financial information goes directly to Stripe — Stories of Endo never sees your SSN, bank account number, or any financial details.
When will I receive donations?
Stripe deposits to your bank account on a daily schedule, typically within 2 business days of a donation being made.
