Amazon Pay Customer Agreement

Yes, it's there. The account name will be recognized by the bank account name and account number registered here, and the deposit procedure will be carried out from Amazon. If you make a mistake in registration, the bank will refuse to accept it, so please make sure you do not make a mistake.

Please check the following guidelines for bank account registration.

Bank account holder name

Please register an account in the name of either of the company applying for Amazon Pay or the name of the individual registered representative. If both registrations are difficult, please contact us individually through Technical Support.

  • You can enter up to 16 single-byte alphanumeric characters in the account holder field. Please enter using either single-byte capital alphabet/single-byte numbers/single-byte spaces, parentheses, hyphens, turbidity, or semi-turbidity.
  • If you enter an account name into Seller Central by shortening it from a bank account name that exceeds 16 single-byte digits, there will be a difference with the name of the bank account to which the actual transfer was made. In that case, in order to ensure payment, please let the financial institution receiving the deposit know in advance that the deposit will be made by registering under the abbreviated name. (There is no problem with this procedure if the seller actually starts using Amazon Pay, performs sales claim processing, and is completed until payment from Amazon occurs, so there is no problem even if it is delivered to a financial institution in parallel with the examination.)
  • Enter all characters in single-byte characters, including parentheses .
  • Abbreviations may be used for corporate names. Points to note when using abbreviations here.
  • Use a hyphen “-” instead of a dash “-”.
  • There must be a space between the first name and last name, but there are no other spaces.
Bank account number
  • For banks in the USA, Usually an account number will be 10-12 digits long, but its length could vary from one bank to another. If you don't know the code, contact your bank.
