How to Connect Your Bank for Payouts

Set up Stripe Connect so rent payments from your tenants go directly to your bank account.

3 min read  ·  Updated June 2026

Before you start:
  • You have a LeaseBase owner account with at least one property.
1

Open your payment settings

Go to Settings or the Payments section in your owner dashboard. Click “Set up payouts” to begin the Stripe Connect onboarding flow.

2

Complete the Stripe verification

You’re redirected to Stripe’s secure onboarding page. Enter your bank account details (routing and account number), verify your identity with a government-issued ID, and accept the Stripe terms of service.

3

Return to LeaseBase

After completing the Stripe flow, you’re redirected back to LeaseBase. Your payout status shows “Connected” and you see your linked bank account information.

4

Start receiving payouts

When tenants pay rent through LeaseBase, the rent portion (minus the platform fee) is automatically transferred to your connected bank account. Payouts typically arrive within 2 business days.

Common questions

Is my bank information secure?

Yes. Bank account details are handled entirely by Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor. LeaseBase never sees or stores your full bank account number.

How long until I receive my first payout?

After connecting your bank via Stripe Connect, payouts typically arrive within 2–3 business days after a tenant payment is processed.

Can I change my bank account later?

Yes. Go to Settings and update your Stripe Connect bank account information at any time.
