Will paypal show my legal name if I change from a business to a personal account?

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!
