What if I'm a foreign national, exchange student, or on a visa?

If you have a valid, government-issued ID for a country and a bank account located in that country, you may select that country as your location.

What if I live in a British Crown Dependency, special municipality, or other outlying territory?

If you are based in a British Crown Dependency (Jersey, Guernsey, or Isle of Man), you must enter an address and bank account in the UK in order to create a campaign. Therefore, you should select the UK as both your country of legal residence and bank account country.

If you are located in Puerto Rico, you must enter a mainland US address and bank account in order to create a campaign. With the exception of Puerto Rico, businesses based in any other US territory or possession, or the US Virgin Islands, are not supported.

Should I choose individual or business or nonprofit? And what do I enter for my tax ID?

You may choose either Individual or Business or Nonprofit as the type of account for which to raise funds. If your campaign is raising funds for a business or nonprofit, you should choose Business or Nonprofit. If you are raising funds for personal purposes, such as for independent creative works, you should choose Individual.

In the Tax ID/EIN field, you should enter the number given to you by your government when you registered your organization, business, etc.

Please note the funds recipient and tax ID can't be changed once your account is verified.

My country is not listed. What does this mean?

You may be unable to create a campaign because the country selection you've entered is not be supported by our payment processor, Stripe. Please refer to the list above for the countries we currently support. 

For assistance with opening a business bank account in one of our supported countries, you may consult with your own expert or opt to use Stripe Atlas to create a U.S. business entity and apply for a U.S. bank account.
