I received an email/text from Stripe - Is this legitimate and safe?

This message is sent when a new user's Express account is created using Express OAuth (this message is not sent when the account is created through your Phorest system).

When you create your Stripe account through PhorestPay, your email is initially unverified and there will be a banner in your Stripe Dashboard with a button that prompts you to verify your email.

Clicking the verify button will result in a “Confirm your email address with Stripe” email being sent to you. This email is also sent if you update your email address in your Stripe account, under Account > Settings (in this case the email is sent to both new and old email addresses).

This email is sent if you reach the volume threshold and Stripe doesn't have the required information yet, as Stripe is required to collect further information to maintain compliance with its financial partners.

You will receive this email from Stripe in the event that a payout into your Stripe account has failed. In this circumstance, you will need to verify and possibly update your bank information on your Stripe account in order to receive your payment.

You will receive this notification if your payout method or account details are updated. This is a security measure in place to prevent unauthorized changes to your account.

You will receive this message in the event that your attempt to update your payout method but did not access your Stripe Dashboard with a valid platform link. This is in place in order to ensure that an authorized user is making the payout method update.

You will receive this message in the event that your account falls into a negative balance, for example, if a client receives a refund but there is an insufficient balance in your Stripe account to cover the refund.

In this scenario, a debit for the amount will be initiated from your bank account that is linked to Stripe in order to bring your Stripe account balance to 0.00
