How to Connect Your Bank Account
Simple step-by-step guide to receive payments
To receive money for your bookings on Evoluna, you need to connect your bank account. This is a secure and simple process that takes only 3-5 minutes.
Why is this necessary?
Important: Tax Responsibility
Evoluna platform facilitates transactions between service providers and clients. The tax liability falls entirely on the service provider. When joining Stripe, you can choose to register as an individual or as a business.
Operating as an Individual
If you use a regular personal bank account, you are responsible for declaring income and paying taxes. Income must be declared in your annual tax return.
Recommendation: Personal Business Account
We strongly recommend opening a personal business account at your bank. This is a separate account from your main account where the bank calculates and declares all taxes automatically – you can use the money immediately. Many banks offer free business account opening.
Your Obligations
- Declare all income received through Evoluna
- Pay income tax and social contributions according to applicable laws
- Keep records of all transactions
- Register for VAT if required by law
Evoluna is not a financial advisor or tax expert. We recommend consulting with an accountant or tax advisor.
Step-by-Step Guide
Go to your profile
Log in to Evoluna and open your profile. Click on your name or picture in the top right corner.
If you are not logged in yet, do that first.
Find "Payment Setup"
Scroll down until you find the green button "Connect Bank Account" or "Set up payments". It's located in the "Professional Profile" section.
If you don't see this button, make sure your specialist role is activated.
Click "Connect Bank Account"
You will be redirected to the Stripe environment. Stripe is a secure payment service provider used by millions of businesses worldwide.
Don't worry - your data is securely protected.
Enter your email
Stripe will ask for your email address. Use the same email you registered with on Evoluna.
Payment notifications will also be sent to this address.
Enter your phone number
Add your phone number. Stripe will send you an SMS with a verification code.
Use a number that can receive SMS messages.
Fill in personal details
Stripe will ask for your name, date of birth, and address. This is a legal requirement (anti-money laundering).
Enter details exactly as they appear on your ID card.
Add your bank account
Enter your bank account IBAN. This is a 20-character code that starts with your country code (e.g., EE for Estonia). You can find it in your online banking.
Example: EE38 2200 2210 1234 5678
Confirm your details
Review the entered information and click "Submit". Stripe usually verifies the data within a few minutes.
If something is wrong, you can correct it later.
Done!
Once the process is complete, you will see a green checkmark "Payments set up" in your profile. Now you will automatically receive money for bookings to your bank account!
