Hi, I'm using my paypal account for donations from my fanbase through a third party source (Ko-Fi), if I change my account from a business account to a personal account will it show my legal name on their transaction history? I use my brand as a front for the donations and nobody in my community knows my real name, and I want to keep it that way.
Thanks for reading and I hope I get an answer soon.

Hi @Cringe_Police,
Thank you for your post, and welcome to the community!
A personal account must be listed under the account owner's legal name. If your Business account is changed to a Personal account, it will show your individual name in the transaction history.
I hope this information is helpful!
