+# How to Find and Change Stripe Bank Account Holder Name
+
+## Problem: Can't Find the Bank Account Holder Name Setting
+
+You've changed the Stripe account name ✅, but need to find where to change the bank account holder name.
+
+---
+
+## Method 1: Through Payout Settings (Most Common)
+
+### Step-by-Step:
+
+1. **Go to Payouts Settings**
+   - URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+   - Or: Dashboard → Settings (⚙️) → Payouts
+
+2. **Find "Bank accounts and debit cards" Section**
+   - Scroll down if needed
+   - Should be in the middle/bottom of the page
+
+3. **Look for Your TSB Account**
+   - Should show: "Bank account ending in **6-85**" or "••••6-85"
+   - May show: "NZD bank account"
+   - Currency: NZD
+
+4. **Click on the Bank Account**
+   - Click anywhere on the bank account row
+   - OR click the three dots (⋮) menu → "View details"
+   - OR click "Edit" if visible
+
+5. **Look for "Account holder name" Field**
+   - Should be in the bank account details
+   - Current value: Probably "MySovereignty Digital" or blank
+   - **Change to**: `John Geoffrey Stroh`
+
+6. **Save Changes**
+   - Click "Save" or "Update"
+
+---
+
+## Method 2: If You Can't Edit the Existing Account
+
+If the field is greyed out or there's no edit option:
+
+### Option A: Remove and Re-add Bank Account
+
+**Step 1: Remove Old Account**
+1. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+2. Find your bank account (ending in 6-85)
+3. Click three dots (⋮) → "Remove" or "Delete"
+4. Confirm removal
+
+**Step 2: Add Bank Account with Correct Name**
+1. On same page, click **"Add bank account"**
+2. Fill in:
+   - **Country**: New Zealand
+   - **Currency**: NZD
+   - **Account holder name**: `John Geoffrey Stroh` ← CRITICAL
+   - **Routing number**: (bank code - Stripe may auto-detect)
+   - **Account number**: `15-3959-0667036-85`
+3. Click "Add bank account"
+
+**Step 3: Verify Account**
+- Stripe will verify (usually instant for NZ banks)
+- OR they'll send micro-deposits (2 small amounts)
+- Confirm the amounts if asked
+
+**Step 4: Set as Default**
+- Once verified, set as default payout method
+- Go to: Settings → Payouts
+- Click "Set as default" if not already
+
+---
+
+## Method 3: Through Bank Accounts Tab (Alternative Location)
+
+1. **Go to Settings**
+   - URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings
+   - Or click Settings (⚙️) in left sidebar
+
+2. **Look for "Bank accounts" or "Payment methods"**
+   - May be a separate section from Payouts
+   - Usually near "Business details" or "Team"
+
+3. **Click on Your Bank Account**
+   - Should show your TSB account
+   - Click to edit
+
+4. **Update Account Holder Name**
+   - Change to: `John Geoffrey Stroh`
+   - Save
+
+---
+
+## Method 4: Through Account Details (If Individual Account)
+
+If you have an Individual account (not Company):
+
+1. **Go to Account Settings**
+   - URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account
+
+2. **Look for "Personal details" Section**
+   - Should show your name
+   - This might control the bank account holder name
+
+3. **Verify Name is Set**
+   - Should say: "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+   - If you just changed this, it might auto-update bank account
+
+4. **Check Payouts Again**
+   - Go back to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+   - Check if bank account holder name updated automatically
+
+---
+
+## Where Exactly to Look (Visual Guide)
+
+### On Payouts Page:
+
+```
+Settings → Payouts
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Payout schedule
+  [X] Automatic
+  Daily
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Bank accounts and debit cards        ← LOOK HERE
+
+  NZD bank account  ••••6-85           ← CLICK THIS
+  Account holder: MySovereignty... ❌   ← NEED TO CHANGE
+
+  [⋮] Edit | Remove
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+```
+
+### When You Click the Bank Account:
+
+```
+Bank account details
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Country: New Zealand
+Currency: NZD
+Account number: ••••••••6-85
+Routing number: 15-3959
+
+Account holder name: [MySovereignty Digital]  ← CHANGE THIS
+                     ▼
+Account holder name: [John Geoffrey Stroh]   ← TO THIS
+
+[Cancel]  [Save]                              ← CLICK SAVE
+```
+
+---
+
+## What If You Still Can't Find It?
+
+### Scenario 1: No Bank Account Listed
+
+**If you see NO bank account** in Settings → Payouts:
+
+1. Your account might not be fully set up
+2. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+3. Click **"Add bank account"**
+4. Add with correct name: "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+
+### Scenario 2: Bank Account Shows But No Edit Option
+
+**If bank account shows but you can't edit**:
+
+This means Stripe has locked the field (common for verified accounts).
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Contact Stripe Support: https://dashboard.stripe.com/support
+2. Message: "I need to update my bank account holder name from 'MySovereignty Digital' to 'John Geoffrey Stroh' to match my bank account. The field is locked. Can you please update it or unlock it?"
+3. They'll update it within 24 hours
+
+**OR:**
+- Remove bank account (if allowed)
+- Re-add with correct name
+
+### Scenario 3: Multiple Bank Accounts
+
+**If you see multiple accounts**:
+
+1. Find the one ending in **6-85**
+2. Make sure it's the TSB account
+3. Edit that one specifically
+4. Set it as default after updating
+
+---
+
+## Quick Troubleshooting
+
+### "I don't see 'Bank accounts and debit cards' section"
+
+**Check:**
+- Are you in Settings → Payouts? (Not just "Settings")
+- Try scrolling down the page
+- Try different browser (Chrome/Firefox)
+- Check you're in Live mode (not Test mode)
+
+### "The account shows but there's no edit button"
+
+**Try:**
+- Click directly ON the bank account row (not the menu)
+- Look for pencil icon (✏️) or "Edit" link
+- Try three dots menu (⋮) → Edit/Manage
+- If still nothing → Contact Stripe Support
+
+### "I can remove it but not edit it"
+
+**Do this:**
+1. Remove the old account
+2. Add new account with correct name
+3. Verify the new account
+4. This is actually easier than editing!
+
+---
+
+## Verification After Changing
+
+After you update (or add new account), verify:
+
+**Go to:** https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+
+**Check:**
+1. ✅ Bank account ending in **6-85** exists
+2. ✅ Account holder name shows: "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+3. ✅ Currency: NZD
+4. ✅ Status: Verified (or Default)
+
+**If all ✅** → You're done! Payouts will work.
+
+---
+
+## Alternative: Let Stripe Support Do It
+
+If you're stuck after trying all methods above:
+
+1. **Open Stripe Support**
+   - URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/support
+   - Or: Dashboard → Help (?) → Contact support
+
+2. **Send This Message:**
+   ```
+   Subject: Update bank account holder name to match bank account

+
+   I need to update my bank account holder name to comply with TSB
+   New Zealand's payment verification requirements.

+
+   Bank account: NZD account ending in 6-85 (15-3959-0667036-85)
+
+   This matches my legal bank account holder name. TSB requires
+   exact name matching for payout acceptance.
+
+   Can you please update this for me, or unlock the field so I can
+   edit it myself?
+
+   Thank you!
+   ```
+
+3. **They'll respond within 24 hours** and fix it for you
+
+---

+1. Dashboard → Settings (⚙️)
+2. Click **"Payouts"** in left menu
+3. Scroll to **"Bank accounts and debit cards"**

+# Stripe Account Name vs Bank Account Mismatch - URGENT FIX
+
+## Current Problem
+
+**Your Stripe Settings:**
+- Account name: "MySovereignty Digital"
+- Opportunity to: "Create organisation"
+
+**Your TSB Bank Account:**
+- Needs verification: What is the EXACT owner name?
+
+**Issue:** If names don't match exactly, TSB will reject all payouts.
+
+---
+
+## STEP 1: Check Your TSB Bank Account Owner Name
+
+**Do this RIGHT NOW:**
+
+### Option A: TSB Online Banking
+1. Log into https://www.tsb.co.nz/online-banking
+2. Go to account details
+3. Look for "Account holder" or "Account name"
+4. Write down the EXACT name
+
+### Option B: Call TSB
+1. Phone: 0800 872 000
+2. Ask: "What is the exact account holder name on my account?"
+3. Write down what they tell you
+
+### Option C: Bank Statement
+1. Find a recent TSB statement (paper or PDF)
+2. Look at the top - account holder name
+3. Write down the exact name
+
+---
+
+## STEP 2: Determine Your Account Type
+
+Based on what you found in Step 1:
+
+### Scenario A: Bank Account Shows "John Stroh"
+**This means**: Personal/individual bank account
+
+**What to do in Stripe:**
+- ✅ Keep account type: Individual
+- ✅ Change account name to: "John Stroh"
+- ✅ Business name (for receipts): "Tractatus AI Safety Framework"
+- ❌ DON'T create organization (not needed)
+
+### Scenario B: Bank Account Shows "MySovereignty Digital" or "MySovereignty Digital Ltd"
+**This means**: Business bank account
+
+**What to do in Stripe:**
+- ✅ Create organization OR change account type to Company
+- ✅ Legal entity name: "MySovereignty Digital" or "MySovereignty Digital Ltd"
+- ✅ Account holder name: Must match bank exactly
+- ✅ Business name: "Tractatus AI Safety Framework"
+
+### Scenario C: Bank Account Shows Something Else
+**This means**: Could be a trust, trading name, or other entity
+
+**What to do:**
+- Write down the EXACT name from bank
+- Use that EXACT name in Stripe
+- Contact TSB to understand the account type
+
+---
+
+## STEP 3: Fix Stripe Settings
+
+Based on your TSB account owner name:
+
+### If TSB Account = "John Stroh" (MOST LIKELY)
+
+#### 3A. Change Stripe Account Name
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account**
+2. Look for **"Account details"** or **"Business details"** section
+3. Find **"Account holder name"** or **"Legal name"**
+4. Change it to: **John Stroh**
+5. Click **"Save"**
+
+#### 3B. Update Bank Account Payout Name
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**
+2. Click on your TSB bank account
+3. Look for **"Account holder name"** field
+4. Change to: **John Stroh**
+5. If you can't edit:
+   - Remove existing bank account
+   - Add new one with correct name "John Stroh"
+   - Verify new account
+   - Set as default
+
+#### 3C. Keep Business Name for Customers
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/public**
+2. **"Public business name"**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework
+3. This appears on customer receipts - it's SEPARATE from payout name
+
+---
+
+### If TSB Account = "MySovereignty Digital" or Business Entity
+
+#### 3A. Create or Update to Company Account
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account**
+2. Look for **"Create organization"** or **"Account type"**
+3. Click **"Create organization"** or change to **"Company"**
+4. Fill in:
+   - **Legal entity name**: MySovereignty Digital (or exact from bank)
+   - **Business type**: Company/LLC/Partnership (as registered)
+   - **Business number**: Your NZ company number (if incorporated)
+   - **Tax ID**: Your IRD number
+
+#### 3B. Verify Bank Account Matches
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**
+2. Bank account holder name should match your business entity
+3. If it shows "John Stroh", you need to:
+   - Option A: Change Stripe to individual account (John Stroh)
+   - Option B: Change TSB account to business name
+   - Option C: Use a different bank account that matches
+
+---
+
+## STEP 4: Verify Everything Matches
+
+Create this checklist and verify:
+
+| Item | TSB Bank | Stripe Setting | Match? |
+|------|----------|----------------|--------|
+| Account owner name | ________ | ________ | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
+| Account type | Personal/Business | Individual/Company | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
+| Business name (receipts) | N/A | Tractatus AI Safety Framework | ☐ OK |
+
+**All items MUST match** for payouts to work.
+
+---
+
+## Common Scenarios and Solutions
+
+### Scenario 1: Personal Bank Account + Wrong Stripe Name
+- **TSB account**: John Stroh
+- **Stripe account**: MySovereignty Digital ❌
+- **Fix**: Change Stripe to "John Stroh"
+- **Result**: Payouts will work
+
+### Scenario 2: Business Bank Account + Personal Stripe
+- **TSB account**: MySovereignty Digital Ltd
+- **Stripe account**: John Stroh (individual) ❌
+- **Fix**: Create Stripe organization, change to company account
+- **Result**: Payouts will work
+
+### Scenario 3: Trading Name on Bank
+- **TSB account**: John Stroh trading as MySovereignty Digital
+- **Stripe account**: MySovereignty Digital ❌
+- **Fix**: Use "John Stroh" in Stripe (the legal account owner)
+- **Result**: Payouts will work
+
+---
+
+## What "Create Organisation" Means in Stripe
+
+When you see "Create organisation" in Stripe, this is for:
+
+### Use it when:
+- ✅ You have a registered business entity
+- ✅ Your bank account is in the business name
+- ✅ You want business account features (team access, multiple users)
+- ✅ You're operating as a company/LLC
+
+### Don't use it when:
+- ❌ Your bank account is in your personal name
+- ❌ You're operating as a sole trader/individual
+- ❌ You just want a business name for receipts (use "Public business name" instead)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Decision Tree
+
+```
+1. What name is on your TSB bank account?
+
+   A. "John Stroh" (personal)
+      → Keep individual Stripe account
+      → Change account name to "John Stroh"
+      → DON'T create organization
+      → Business name = "Tractatus AI Safety Framework" (for receipts only)
+
+   B. "MySovereignty Digital" or "MySovereignty Digital Ltd" (business)
+      → Create organization in Stripe
+      → OR change to company account type
+      → Legal entity = match bank exactly
+      → Business name = "Tractatus AI Safety Framework"
+
+   C. Not sure
+      → Check TSB online banking NOW
+      → Or call TSB: 0800 872 000
+      → Get exact account owner name
+      → Then choose A or B above
+```
+
+---
+
+## URGENT: Do This Today

+
+1. ☐ Check TSB bank account owner name (online banking or call)

+
+---
+
+## What Happens If You Don't Fix This
+
+**Oct 25-28:** Funds become available in Stripe
+**Oct 26-29:** Stripe attempts payout to TSB
+**Payout recipient name:** "MySovereignty Digital"
+**TSB checks:** "MySovereignty Digital" ≠ "John Stroh" (if personal account)
+**TSB action:** ❌ REJECT PAYMENT
+**Oct 27-30:** Funds return to Stripe balance
+**You get:** Email saying payout failed
+**You must:** Fix name, request payout again, wait another week
+
+---
+
+## After You Fix It
+
+Once names match exactly:
+
+**Timeline:**
+- Funds in Stripe: Available now
+- Fix name: Today
+- Next payout: Automatic (daily/weekly schedule)
+- Or request manual payout: Settings → Balance → "Pay out funds"
+- Bank receives: 2-3 business days
+- Money in account: 3-4 business days total
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**The issue:**
+- Stripe account name: "MySovereignty Digital"
+- TSB account owner: Probably "John Stroh"
+- TSB will reject if mismatch
+
+**The fix:**
+1. Check TSB account owner name (5 minutes)
+2. Update Stripe to match exactly (5 minutes)
+3. Verify both match (1 minute)
+4. Wait for payout (automatic)
+
+**Most likely scenario:**

+- You need to change Stripe to "John Stroh"
+- Keep "Tractatus AI Safety Framework" as business name for receipts
+- Don't create organization (not needed for personal account)
+
+---
+
+**Created**: 2025-10-18
+**Status**: URGENT - Fix before Oct 25 to avoid payout rejection
+**Next**: Check TSB account name, update Stripe to match

+# Stripe Payout Name Matching Issue - TSB NZ
+
+## Problem: TSB Bank Requires Exact Name Match
+
+TSB New Zealand requires the payout recipient name to **exactly match** the bank account owner name.
+
+**Your situation:**
+- Bank account owner: **John Stroh**
+- Stripe business name: **Tractatus AI Safety Framework** or **Tractatus Koha**
+- TSB requirement: Name must be **John Stroh** (exact match)
+
+**If mismatch**: Payout will be **REJECTED** by TSB and returned to Stripe.
+
+---
+
+## Immediate Action: Check Stripe Payout Settings
+
+### Step 1: Check Current Payout Name
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/public**
+2. Look for **"Business name"** or **"Public business name"**
+3. Note what it says (probably "Tractatus AI Safety Framework")
+
+### Step 2: Check Bank Account Details
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**
+2. Under **"Bank accounts and debit cards"**, click on your NZ bank account
+3. Look for **"Account holder name"** field
+4. **This MUST say "John Stroh"** to match TSB requirements
+
+---
+
+## Fix: Update Payout Recipient Name
+
+### Option 1: Update Bank Account Name in Stripe
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**
+2. Under **"Bank accounts"**, click your TSB account
+3. Click **"Edit"** or the three dots menu → **"Update details"**
+4. Change **"Account holder name"** to: **John Stroh**
+   - Use exact capitalization as on your bank account
+   - No middle names unless they're on the account
+5. Click **"Save"**
+
+### Option 2: Re-add Bank Account with Correct Name
+
+If you can't edit the existing account:
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**
+2. Click **"Add bank account"**
+3. Enter details:
+   - **Account holder name**: `John Stroh` (EXACT match to bank account)
+   - **Account number**: Your TSB account number
+   - **Routing number**: TSB routing/branch code
+4. Click **"Add bank account"**
+5. Wait for verification (micro-deposits or instant verification)
+6. Once verified, set as default
+7. Remove old bank account
+
+---
+
+## What Name Should You Use Where?
+
+### ✅ Bank Account Name (Stripe Payouts Settings)
+- **Use**: `John Stroh`
+- **Why**: MUST match bank account owner name exactly
+- **Where**: Dashboard → Settings → Payouts → Bank accounts
+
+### ✅ Business Name (Public Display)
+- **Use**: `Tractatus AI Safety Framework`
+- **Why**: This appears on customer receipts and invoices
+- **Where**: Dashboard → Settings → Public details
+
+### ✅ Legal Business Name (Account Settings)
+- **Use**: `John Stroh` (if individual) or `Tractatus AI Safety Framework` (if company)
+- **Why**: For tax reporting (required in some jurisdictions)
+- **Where**: Dashboard → Settings → Account details
+
+**The key**: Bank account holder name ≠ Business name
+
+---
+
+## Verify Name Matching
+
+### In Stripe Dashboard:
+1. **Settings → Payouts → Bank accounts**
+   - Account holder name: **John Stroh** ✅
+
+2. **Settings → Public details**
+   - Business name: **Tractatus AI Safety Framework** ✅
+
+3. **Settings → Account details**
+   - Legal entity: Depends on your structure (Individual = John Stroh)
+
+### In Your TSB Online Banking:
+1. Log into TSB online banking
+2. Check account owner name
+3. Write down the EXACT name (including spaces, capitalization)
+4. Use this EXACT name in Stripe payout settings
+
+---
+
+## What Happens If Name Doesn't Match?
+
+### Payout Rejected Scenario:
+1. Stripe sends payout to TSB with name "Tractatus Koha"
+2. TSB checks: Account owner = "John Stroh" ≠ "Tractatus Koha"
+3. TSB rejects the payment
+4. Stripe receives rejection notification
+5. Funds return to your Stripe balance
+6. You receive email: "Payout failed"
+
+### How to Fix After Rejection:
+1. Update bank account holder name in Stripe (see above)
+2. Request manual payout again
+3. Stripe sends with correct name
+4. TSB accepts payment
+5. Money arrives in bank
+
+---
+
+## TSB New Zealand Specific Requirements
+
+TSB implemented stricter verification in 2024:
+
+### Name Matching Rules:
+- ✅ **Exact match required**: "John Stroh" = "John Stroh"
+- ❌ **No abbreviations**: "J. Stroh" ≠ "John Stroh"
+- ❌ **No business names**: "Tractatus Koha" ≠ "John Stroh"
+- ❌ **No variations**: "John D. Stroh" ≠ "John Stroh" (unless middle initial is on account)
+
+### What TSB Checks:
+1. Account number matches
+2. Account holder name matches EXACTLY
+3. If mismatch → Reject payment
+
+---
+
+## Check If This Is Already a Problem
+
+### Check Stripe Events/Logs:
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/events**
+2. Filter by: `payout.failed` or `payout.rejected`
+3. Look for any recent failures
+
+### Check Email:
+
+- Search inbox for: "payout failed" OR "stripe payout"
+- Stripe sends email immediately if payout fails
+- Check spam folder too
+
+### Check Stripe Balance:
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/balance/overview**
+2. If **"Available"** shows $4.55 (after it moved from Pending)
+   - But payout hasn't happened after 2 days
+   - This suggests a payout failure
+
+---
+
+## Quick Fix Checklist
+
+Run through this NOW to prevent issues:
+
+- [ ] Log into Stripe Dashboard
+- [ ] Go to Settings → Payouts
+- [ ] Click on TSB bank account
+- [ ] Check "Account holder name" field
+- [ ] If it says anything OTHER than "John Stroh":
+  - [ ] Update it to "John Stroh" (exact match)
+  - [ ] Save changes
+- [ ] Log into TSB online banking
+- [ ] Verify account name exactly matches
+- [ ] Wait for next payout cycle
+
+---
+
+## If Using Individual vs Company Account
+
+### Individual Account (Personal):
+- **Account owner**: John Stroh
+- **Stripe account type**: Individual
+- **Business name (receipts)**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework
+- **Payout recipient**: John Stroh ✅
+
+### Company Account (Business):
+- **Account owner**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework Ltd
+- **Stripe account type**: Company
+- **Business name**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework
+- **Payout recipient**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework Ltd ✅
+
+**Most likely for you**: Individual account, so use "John Stroh"
+
+---
+
+## Contact TSB Directly
+
+If you're unsure of the exact name format:
+
+**TSB Contact:**
+- Phone: 0800 872 000
+- Ask: "What is the exact account holder name on my account [number]?"
+- Explain: "I need it for receiving electronic payments via Stripe"
+- They'll tell you the exact format required
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**High Priority Action:**
+1. **Right now**: Check Stripe payout settings
+2. **Verify**: Account holder name = "John Stroh" (exact match to bank)
+3. **Update**: If wrong, change it immediately
+4. **Prevent**: Payout rejections from TSB's verification system
+
+**This is likely the issue** if:
+- Stripe says "payout sent" but money never arrives
+- You get "payout failed" emails
+- Balance stays in "Available" without transferring
+
+**Good news**: Easy to fix by updating the account holder name in Stripe settings.
+
+---
+
+**Created**: 2025-10-18
+**Bank**: TSB New Zealand
+**Requirement**: Exact name matching for payment verification
+**Fix**: Update Stripe bank account holder name to "John Stroh"

+
+## ⚠️ MANUAL TASKS REQUIRED
+
+The following tasks **cannot** be automated and require manual action in the Stripe Dashboard:
+
+### URGENT - Task 1: Update Bank Account Holder Name (Before Oct 25)
+
+**Why Urgent**: Your first payout ($4.56 NZD) becomes available on Oct 25. If the bank account holder name doesn't match "John Geoffrey Stroh", TSB will reject the payout.
+
+**Current Status**:
+- ✅ Stripe account name: "John Geoffrey Stroh" (DONE)
+- ❌ Bank account holder name: Needs verification/update
+
+**How to Fix**:
+
+1. Open: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+2. Scroll to: "Bank accounts and debit cards" section
+3. Find: NZD account ending in "6-85"
+4. Click: On the account row
+5. Look for: "Account holder name" field
+6. Should say: "John Geoffrey Stroh" ✅
+7. If not: Change it to "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+
+**If you can't edit the field**:
+- Option A: Remove bank account, then re-add with correct name
+  - Account number: 15-3959-0667036-85
+  - Currency: NZD
+  - Holder: John Geoffrey Stroh
+  
+- Option B: Contact Stripe Support
+  - https://dashboard.stripe.com/support
+  - Request: "Update bank account holder name to 'John Geoffrey Stroh' for NZD account ending in 6-85"
+
+**Verify After**:
+```bash
+/tmp/check-stripe-bank-name.sh
+```
+
+**Deadline**: Before October 25, 2025 (first payout date)
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Configure Customer Portal (Test Mode)
+
+**Time Required**: ~10 minutes
+**Priority**: Medium (needed before testing locally)
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. **Open Test Mode Dashboard**:
+   - URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/billing/portal
+
+2. **Enable Features** (click each checkbox):
+   - ☐ Customer can edit email address
+   - ☐ Customer can update payment methods
+   - ☐ Customer can cancel subscriptions
+   - ☐ Customer can view invoice history
+
+3. **Configure Cancellation Survey**:
+   - ☐ Enable "Ask why they're cancelling"
+   - ☐ Question 1: "Why are you cancelling?"
+     - Options:
+       - Too expensive
+       - No longer need it
+       - Found alternative
+       - Other
+   - ☐ Question 2: "How can we improve?" (optional text field)
+
+4. **Business Information**:
+   - ☐ Business name: `Tractatus AI Safety Framework`
+   - ☐ Support email: `support@agenticgovernance.digital`
+   - ☐ Privacy policy: (optional)
+   - ☐ Terms of service: (optional)
+
+5. **Save Configuration**:
+   - ☐ Click "Save" or "Activate"
+
+**Verify After**:
+```bash
+node scripts/verify-stripe-portal.js
+```
+
+Expected output: All checkboxes ✅
+
+**Troubleshooting**:
+- If survey doesn't appear: Check "Subscription cancellation" is enabled
+- If can't save: Ensure all required fields filled
+- Full guide: docs/STRIPE_PORTAL_CONFIGURATION_STEPS.md
+
+---
+
+### Task 3: Configure Customer Portal (Live Mode)
+
+**Time Required**: ~10 minutes
+**Priority**: Medium (needed before production deployment)
+
+**Steps**:
+
+Same as Task 2, but using live mode dashboard:
+- URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/portal
+
+**Important**: Configuration must match test mode exactly.
+
+**Verify After**:
+```bash
+STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_... node scripts/verify-stripe-portal.js
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 TESTING (After Manual Tasks Complete)

+     - "How can we improve?" (optional text)
+   - Complete survey
+   - Confirm cancellation
+   - Verify: Redirected back to koha.html
+   - Verify: Subscription shows as cancelled
+
+4. **Verify Navigation**:
+   - Go to: http://localhost:9000
+   - Click: Hamburger menu (☰)
+   - Verify: "🤝 Support (Koha)" link appears
+   - Click: Link
+   - Verify: Redirects to koha.html
+
+5. **Check Logs**:
+   ```bash
+   tail -f /tmp/server-restart.log
+   ```
+   - Look for: `[KOHA] Customer portal session created for [email]`
+   - Should be: INFO level (not ERROR)
+
+### Test Checklist:

+# Stripe Customer Portal Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The Stripe Customer Portal allows donors to self-service manage their subscriptions without contacting support. This includes:
+- Viewing subscription details and invoices
+- Updating payment methods
+- Cancelling subscriptions
+- Viewing payment history
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+✅ Backend endpoint created: `POST /api/koha/portal`
+✅ Frontend UI added to koha.html
+✅ i18n translations added
+✅ Route configured in koha.routes.js
+
+⚠️ **REQUIRED**: Configure Customer Portal in Stripe Dashboard (both test and live mode)
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Configure Test Mode Portal
+
+1. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/billing/portal
+2. Click **"Activate test mode"** or **"Configure"**
+3. Enable the following features:
+
+### Customer Information
+- ✅ **Email address**: Allow customers to edit
+- ✅ **Payment methods**: Allow customers to update
+
+### Subscriptions
+- ✅ **Allow customers to cancel subscriptions**: Yes
+- **Cancellation behavior**: Cancel at period end (recommended)
+- ✅ **Cancellation survey**: Enable with custom questions:
+  - "Why are you cancelling?" (required)
+    - Too expensive
+    - No longer need it
+    - Found an alternative
+    - Not what I expected
+    - Other (with text input)
+  - "How can we improve?" (optional, text input)
+
+### Invoice History
+- ✅ **Show invoice history**: Yes
+
+### Business Information
+- **Business name**: Tractatus AI Safety Framework
+- **Support email**: support@agenticgovernance.digital
+- **Privacy policy URL**: https://agenticgovernance.digital/about/values.html
+- **Terms of service URL**: https://agenticgovernance.digital/about/values.html
+
+4. Click **"Save changes"**
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Configure Live Mode Portal
+
+1. Switch to **Live mode** in Stripe Dashboard (toggle in top-right)
+2. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/portal
+3. Repeat **exact same configuration** as test mode above
+4. Click **"Save changes"**
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Test the Portal (Test Mode)
+
+1. Open http://localhost:9000/koha.html in your browser
+2. Scroll to the **"Manage Your Subscription"** section
+3. Enter the email address of a test subscription (e.g., the one you created during testing)
+4. Click **"Manage"**
+5. You should be redirected to the Stripe Customer Portal
+6. Verify:
+   - Subscription details are visible
+   - Payment method can be updated
+   - Cancellation option is available
+   - Cancellation survey appears when attempting to cancel
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Deploy to Production
+
+Once test mode is configured and working:
+
+1. **Configure live mode** (Step 2 above)
+2. **Deploy updated files**:
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/deploy-full-project-SAFE.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Files being deployed**:
+   - `src/controllers/koha.controller.js` (new createPortalSession endpoint)
+   - `src/routes/koha.routes.js` (new /portal route)
+   - `public/koha.html` (new Manage Subscription section)
+   - `public/js/koha-donation.js` (new portal functionality)
+   - `public/locales/en/koha.json` (new translations)
+
+4. **Verify production**:
+   - Go to https://agenticgovernance.digital/koha.html
+   - Test "Manage Subscription" with your live subscription email
+   - Confirm portal redirect works
+   - Test cancellation flow (you can cancel the test $5 subscription if desired)
+
+---
+
+## Exit Survey Data Access
+
+After customers cancel subscriptions, you can view their survey responses:
+
+1. Go to Stripe Dashboard → **Billing** → **Subscriptions**
+2. Click on a cancelled subscription
+3. Look for **"Cancellation feedback"** section
+4. Survey responses will be displayed there
+
+This data helps you understand churn reasons and improve the donation experience.
+
+---
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- ✅ Email verification: The portal endpoint only accepts email addresses that match Stripe customer records
+- ✅ Rate limiting: Portal endpoint is protected by rate limiter (10 requests/hour per IP)
+- ✅ No authentication required: This is intentional - Stripe Customer Portal has its own secure authentication via email
+- ✅ Session expiration: Portal sessions expire after 30 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "No subscription found for this email address"
+- The email doesn't have an active Stripe subscription
+- Check that the email matches exactly (case-insensitive)
+- Verify the subscription exists in Stripe Dashboard
+
+### Error: "No configuration provided..."
+- Customer Portal not configured in Stripe Dashboard
+- Follow Step 1 (test) or Step 2 (live) above
+
+### Portal session created but redirect fails
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Verify `FRONTEND_URL` in .env is correct
+- Check that koha-donation.js has `window.location.href = data.data.url;`
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Configure test mode portal (Step 1)
+2. ✅ Test locally (Step 3)
+3. ✅ Configure live mode portal (Step 2)
+4. ✅ Deploy to production (Step 4)
+5. 🎉 Donors can now self-manage their subscriptions!

+# Stripe Account Name Fix - Exact Steps for John Stroh
+
+## Confirmed Problem
+
+**TSB Bank Account:**
+- Account holders: Mr John Geoffrey Stroh, Miss Rima Marlijn Herber
+- Sub-account name: "Tractatus Koha" (just a label, not relevant for verification)
+- Account number: 15-3959-0667036-85
+
+**Stripe Account:**
+- Current name: "MySovereignty Digital" ❌
+- Needs to be: "John Geoffrey Stroh" ✅
+
+**TSB will reject payouts** if the name doesn't match "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+
+---
+
+## Fix Steps - Do This NOW
+
+### Step 1: Update Stripe Account Name (2 minutes)
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account**
+
+2. Look for one of these sections:
+   - "Account details"
+   - "Business details"
+   - "Personal details"
+
+3. Find the field labeled:
+   - "Account holder name" OR
+   - "Legal entity name" OR
+   - "Name" OR
+   - "Business name"
+
+4. **Change it from**: "MySovereignty Digital"
+
+5. **Change it to**: `John Geoffrey Stroh`
+   - Use this exact format
+   - Don't include "Mr" - Stripe usually doesn't need titles
+   - Include middle name "Geoffrey"
+
+6. Click **"Save"** or **"Update"**
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Update Bank Account Holder Name (2 minutes)
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts**

+2. Under **"Bank accounts and debit cards"**, find your TSB account ending in **0667036-85**
+
+3. Click on the account to view details

+4. Look for **"Account holder name"** field
+
+5. **Change it to**: `John Geoffrey Stroh`
+   - Must match exactly what you used in Step 1
+   - Same format, same spelling
+
+6. **If you can't edit the field:**
+   - Click "Remove bank account" (don't worry, you'll add it back)
+   - Click "Add bank account"
+   - Fill in:
+     - **Account holder name**: `John Geoffrey Stroh`
+     - **Country**: New Zealand
+     - **Currency**: NZD
+     - **Account number**: `15-3959-0667036-85`
+     - **Bank code**: (Stripe should auto-detect TSB)
+   - Submit and verify
+
+7. Click **"Save"** if editing, or complete verification if adding new
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Verify Business Name for Customers (1 minute)
+
+This is SEPARATE from payout name - this is what customers see:
+
+1. Go to: **https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/public**
+
+2. Find **"Public business name"** or **"Statement descriptor"**
+
+3. Make sure it says: `Tractatus AI Safety Framework` or `Tractatus Koha`
+   - This appears on customer receipts
+   - This does NOT need to match your bank account
+   - Keep this as you want customers to see it
+
+4. Save if you made any changes
+
+---
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+After completing the steps above, verify:
+
+| Setting | Current Value | Correct? |
+|---------|--------------|----------|
+| **Stripe Account Name** | John Geoffrey Stroh | ✅ |
+| **Stripe Bank Account Holder** | John Geoffrey Stroh | ✅ |
+| **TSB Account Holder** | Mr John Geoffrey Stroh | ✅ |
+| **Public Business Name** | Tractatus AI Safety Framework | ✅ |
+
+All payout-related names should be "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+
+---
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### About the Sub-account Name "Tractatus Koha"
+
+- This is just a **label** you created in TSB online banking
+- It helps YOU organize your accounts
+- TSB's payment verification **ignores this label**
+- TSB only checks the **legal account holder name**: Mr John Geoffrey Stroh
+- You can keep the sub-account named "Tractatus Koha" - it won't affect payouts
+
+### About the Second Account Holder
+
+Your TSB account shows:
+- Primary: Mr John Geoffrey Stroh
+- Secondary: Miss Rima Marlijn Herber
+
+For Stripe payouts:
+- ✅ Use the **primary account holder**: John Geoffrey Stroh
+- ❌ Don't use both names (e.g., "John Stroh and Rima Herber")
+- ❌ Don't use the secondary holder alone
+
+TSB will accept payouts to an account with multiple holders as long as one of the names matches.
+
+### About "Mr" and Middle Name
+
+**Include middle name**: Yes - "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+- This matches your TSB account exactly
+- More specific = better verification
+
+**Include title ("Mr")**: No - use "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+- Stripe typically doesn't use titles
+- TSB's verification usually ignores titles
+- If it fails, you can try adding "Mr" later
+
+---
+
+## What Happens After You Fix It
+
+### Immediate:
+- ✅ Stripe settings updated
+- ✅ Names now match TSB account
+- ✅ Future payouts will work
+
+### Next Payout:
+- **When funds become available** (Oct 25-28 based on 7-day hold)
+- Stripe sends payout with name: "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+- TSB receives payout
+- TSB checks: "John Geoffrey Stroh" ✅ matches account holder
+- TSB **accepts** payment
+- Money arrives in account 15-3959-0667036-85
+- You see it in the "Tractatus Koha" sub-account
+
+### Timeline:
+- Today: Fix Stripe settings
+- Oct 25-28: Funds available for payout
+- Oct 26-29: Automatic payout sent to TSB
+- Oct 27-30: **Money appears in your Tractatus Koha sub-account**
+
+---
+
+## If Payout Still Fails After This Fix
+
+Very unlikely, but if it happens:
+
+1. **Try with title**: Change Stripe name to "Mr John Geoffrey Stroh"
+2. **Try without middle name**: Change to "John Stroh"
+3. **Contact TSB**: Ask what exact format they need: 0800 872 000
+4. **Contact Stripe**: Support can help verify the format: https://dashboard.stripe.com/support
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**The fix:**
+1. ✅ Stripe account name → "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+2. ✅ Stripe bank account holder → "John Geoffrey Stroh"
+3. ✅ Public business name → Keep as "Tractatus AI Safety Framework"
+
+**Why this works:**
+- TSB verifies against legal account holder: "Mr John Geoffrey Stroh"
+- "John Geoffrey Stroh" matches (TSB ignores "Mr")
+- Sub-account name "Tractatus Koha" is just a label
+- Payout accepted ✅
+
+**Result:**
+- Future payouts will work
+- Money goes to account 15-3959-0667036-85
+- Shows in your "Tractatus Koha" sub-account
+- Timeline: ~7-10 days from payment for first payout
+
+---
+
+**Created**: 2025-10-18
+**Your TSB Account**: 15-3959-0667036-85 (Tractatus Koha sub-account)
+**Required Stripe Name**: John Geoffrey Stroh
+**Status**: Fix this today to avoid payout rejection on Oct 25-28

+# Stripe Payout Diagnostic Guide
+
+## Issue: Payment showing in UI but not in bank account
+
+This is **usually normal** - Stripe holds funds before transferring to your bank. Let's diagnose:
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Verify You're in Live Mode (Not Test Mode)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Test mode payments are fake - no real money moves.
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com
+2. Look at the top-right corner
+3. Check the toggle switch:
+   - **If it says "Test mode ON"**: You're in test mode - no real money
+   - **If it says "Viewing test data"**: Switch to Live mode
+   - **If it says "Live mode" or toggle is OFF/gray**: You're in live mode ✅
+
+**If you were in test mode:**
+- The $5 payment was a test transaction
+- No real money was charged
+- You need to redo the donation in Live mode
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Check Your Stripe Balance
+
+Your Stripe balance shows funds that are available or pending payout.
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/balance/overview
+2. Look for two numbers:
+
+### Available for Payout
+- **If $0.00**: Funds are still pending
+- **If $5.00 NZD (or converted amount)**: Funds are ready but not sent yet
+
+### Pending
+- **Shows funds waiting to become available**
+- New accounts: 7-14 day hold
+- Established accounts: 2 day rolling reserve
+
+**Normal behavior**: Your $5 should appear in "Pending" first, then move to "Available" after the hold period.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Check Payout Schedule
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+2. Look for **"Payout schedule"** section
+3. Check settings:
+
+### Standard Payout Schedule (Most Common):
+- **Frequency**: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
+- **Timing**: "2 business days after charge" (standard)
+- **Status**: Should say "Automatic payouts enabled"
+
+### What to look for:
+- ✅ **"Automatic"**: Payouts happen automatically
+- ❌ **"Manual"**: You must request payouts manually
+- ⚠️ **"Payouts paused"**: Issue with account - see Step 6
+
+**If set to Manual:**
+1. Click "Switch to automatic payouts"
+2. Or manually request payout: Balance → "Pay out funds"
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Verify Bank Account is Connected
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts
+2. Scroll to **"Bank accounts and debit cards"** section
+3. Check:
+
+### You should see:
+- ✅ A bank account listed (with last 4 digits)
+- ✅ Status: "Verified" or "Default"
+- ✅ Currency: NZD
+
+### If NO bank account listed:
+1. Click **"Add bank account"**
+2. Enter your NZ bank details:
+   - Account number (format: XX-XXXX-XXXXXXX-XX)
+   - Account holder name
+   - Bank name
+3. Verify via micro-deposits (Stripe sends 2 small deposits, you confirm amounts)
+
+### If bank account shows "Verification required":
+- Check your email for verification instructions from Stripe
+- You may need to confirm micro-deposit amounts
+- Or upload bank statement for verification
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Check Payment Status
+
+Let's verify the $5 payment actually succeeded:
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments
+2. Look for your $5 NZD payment
+3. Click on it to see details
+
+### Check the Status:
+- ✅ **"Succeeded"**: Payment captured successfully
+- ⏳ **"Processing"**: Still being processed (rare for card payments)
+- ❌ **"Failed"** or **"Requires payment method"**: Payment didn't work
+
+### Check the Fee:
+- Stripe charges fees on each transaction
+- For NZD: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
+- $5.00 NZD → ~$4.55 NZD net after fees
+
+### Check Available On:
+- This shows when funds become available for payout
+- Usually: Payment date + 2 business days
+- Example: Oct 18 payment → Available Oct 20 (if no weekends)
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Check Account Status
+
+Your account might be restricted or need verification:
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account
+2. Look for banners or alerts at the top
+3. Check **"Account status"** section
+
+### Common issues:
+- ⚠️ **"Verification required"**: Need to provide business documents
+- ⚠️ **"Payouts paused"**: Account under review
+- ⚠️ **"Risk review"**: Flagged for unusual activity
+
+### Required information:
+- Business type (Individual / Company)
+- Business details (name, address, URL)
+- Personal information (ID verification)
+- Bank account verification
+
+**If verification required:**
+- Click the banner or alert
+- Follow the steps to submit required documents
+- Verification usually takes 1-2 business days
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Timeline - When to Expect Payout
+
+Here's the typical timeline for a new Stripe account:
+
+### Day 0 (Today - Oct 18):
+- ✅ Customer pays $5 NZD
+- ✅ Payment appears in Stripe Dashboard
+- ✅ Payment appears in your Tractatus UI
+- ❌ **No payout yet** - this is normal
+
+### Day 0-7:
+- Funds in "Pending" balance
+- **New accounts**: 7-14 day initial hold period
+- **This is Stripe's risk mitigation for new accounts**
+
+### Day 7-14:
+- Funds move from "Pending" to "Available"
+- Automatic payout scheduled
+
+### Day 9-16:
+- **Payout sent to your bank account**
+- Bank processing: 1-3 business days
+- **Money appears in your bank account**
+
+### Timeline Summary:
+- **New Stripe account**: 7-14 days until first payout
+- **Established account (after 90 days)**: 2 days
+- **Weekends/holidays add extra days**
+
+---
+
+## Step 8: How to Check Scheduled Payouts
+
+1. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/payouts
+2. You should see a list of payouts
+
+### What you might see:
+- **"In transit"**: Payout sent to bank, waiting for bank processing
+- **"Paid"**: Successfully received by bank
+- **"Scheduled"**: Future payout queued
+- **Empty list**: No payouts scheduled yet (if balance still pending)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Diagnostic Checklist
+
+Run through this checklist:
+
+- [ ] I'm in **Live mode** (not test mode)
+- [ ] Payment shows **"Succeeded"** in Stripe Dashboard
+- [ ] Payment amount is correct: $5 NZD
+- [ ] Balance shows funds in **"Pending"** or **"Available"**
+- [ ] Bank account is **connected and verified**
+- [ ] Payout schedule is set to **"Automatic"**
+- [ ] Account status is **"Active"** (no verification required)
+- [ ] I understand the **7-14 day hold** for new accounts
+
+---
+
+## Expected Outcome for New Account
+
+**This is completely normal:**
+1. ✅ Oct 18: Payment succeeded ($5 NZD)
+2. ✅ Oct 18: Shows in Tractatus transparency dashboard
+3. ✅ Oct 18-25: Funds held in "Pending" balance
+4. ⏳ Oct 25-28: Funds become "Available"
+5. ⏳ Oct 26-29: Automatic payout sent to bank
+6. ⏳ Oct 27-30: **Money appears in your bank account**
+
+**Stripe's reasoning:**
+- New accounts have longer holds to prevent fraud
+- After 90 days of good history, holds reduce to 2 days
+- This protects both you and customers from chargebacks
+
+---
+
+## If Money Still Missing After 14 Days
+
+1. **Check Stripe Balance**: https://dashboard.stripe.com/balance
+   - Should be $0 if payout completed
+   - Should show amount if still pending
+
+2. **Check Payouts**: https://dashboard.stripe.com/payouts
+   - Should show "Paid" status
+   - Should show payout date
+
+3. **Check Bank Statement**:
+   - Look for "STRIPE" or "Stripe Payments"
+   - Amount might be slightly less due to fees
+   - Can take 1-3 business days after "Paid" status
+
+4. **Contact Stripe Support**:
+   - https://dashboard.stripe.com/support
+   - Provide payment ID and payout ID
+   - They can trace the exact status
+
+---
+
+## Testing Without Waiting
+
+If you want to verify the system works without waiting 14 days:
+
+### Option 1: Request Manual Payout (if available)
+1. Go to Balance → "Pay out funds"
+2. Only works if funds are "Available" (not "Pending")
+
+### Option 2: Check Test Mode First
+1. Switch to Test mode
+2. Make a test donation
+3. Verify it appears in database and UI
+4. This confirms the integration works
+5. Live mode will work the same way (just with real money)
+
+---
+
+## Common Misconceptions
+
+❌ **"Payment succeeded = money in bank immediately"**
+- Payments go to Stripe balance first
+- Then Stripe pays out on schedule
+- Total time: 2-14 days depending on account age
+
+❌ **"Test mode payments are real"**
+- Test mode uses fake card numbers
+- No real money moves
+- Use live mode for real payments
+
+❌ **"Stripe balance = bank balance"**
+- These are separate
+- Stripe holds funds temporarily
+- Bank receives scheduled payouts
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Check if you're in Live mode** (Step 1)
+2. **Verify bank account is connected** (Step 4)
+3. **Check payment succeeded** (Step 5)
+4. **Check account status** (Step 6)
+5. **Wait 7-14 days for first payout** (Step 7)
+
+**If everything looks correct**: Just wait. This is normal for new Stripe accounts.
+
+**If something is wrong**: Follow the specific step where you found an issue.
+
+---
+
+**Document Created**: 2025-10-18
+**Your Payment Date**: 2025-10-18
+**Expected Payout**: 2025-10-25 to 2025-11-01 (first time)
+**Future Payouts**: 2 days after payment (after account is established)
