Note: For Stripe Connected accounts, ONLY the Group Admins have access to linking payment to a bank account. All paid events created under a Group will go to that Group’s bank account.
From your group page, tap on the three dots at the top right corner > Tap on “Payment” > Use the Country Selector to select your country > Click “Link to Bank Account” > Fill out all of the fields in the form!

If you are an individual, not for profit, or company and need help knowing what information to enter into the Stripe connect form, read our quick guide here.
To receive funds for payments you’ve processed, Stripe makes deposits (payouts) of your available account balance into your bank account.
Once you start processing with Stripe, your first payout is made 7–10 days after your first successful payment is received. Subsequent payouts are then processed according to your account’s payout schedule.
You can select to receive payouts on a rolling basis (every day), or in batches once a week or once a month.
You can view your account balance (all of your payouts and how much money you are owed) through the Payment tab on your OpenSports group page.
OpenSports will also generate a monthly report indicating all revenue collected for the period. Email alicia@opensports.net to learn more about this.
