Which statement describes the difference in financial reporting visibility between Standard and Express/Custom connected accounts?

• A. Connect platforms can view all financial reports
• B. Express accounts control their own reports
• C. Standard accounts can view only summary
• D. Connect platforms can't view financial reports for standard connected accounts

Answer: (D)

In Stripe Connect, who can see financial reporting depends on the account type. For Standard connected accounts, the merchant owns the Stripe account directly and handles their own dashboard; the platform does not have access to the connected account’s detailed financial reports. This means the platform can’t view those financial reports for Standard accounts. In contrast, Express and Custom accounts are designed so the platform has visibility into the connected accounts’ finances, including the ability to view relevant reports from the platform’s side. So the statement that platforms can’t view financial reports for standard connected accounts correctly captures the difference. The other options either overstretch the platform’s access (all financial reports) or misstate who controls or can view the reports for Standard accounts.
