📍Why You Might See a Different Address
When you pay for a truck, equipment, or service through Garage, your payment is processed securely through Stripe, our trusted payment partner. Stripe is a leading global payment processor used by millions of businesses—including Amazon, Google, and Shopify—to move money safely between buyers and sellers.
You may notice that the bank or account holder addresses on your payment page or invoice list locations in San Francisco, CA. This is because Stripe’s banking partners and corporate offices are registered in California, even though Garage Technologies Inc. is headquartered in New York, and sellers may be located in other states.
These are official Stripe addresses and are automatically linked to verified Stripe accounts.
🫵 What This Means for You
✅ Your payment is secure. All payments made through Garage are processed and encrypted by Stripe. Garage and sellers never have direct access to your bank or card details.
✅ The addresses are correct. Even if the business (Garage or the seller) is based elsewhere, these Stripe-issued addresses are legitimate and tied to the account holder’s verified Stripe account.
✅ This setup helps prevent fraud. Stripe verifies every business before enabling payouts, ensuring that all funds are sent only to the rightful, verified account holder.
💸 Who Does the Payment Go To
Depending on the type of transaction, the name you see on your invoice will correspond to the verified Stripe account holder:
For value-added services (like freight or warranty), your payment goes to Garage Technologies Inc. — this is our official business name and verified Stripe account.
For apparatus sales, your payment will go directly to the seller’s verified Stripe account.
Either way, Stripe ensures the funds are routed correctly and securely.
🏦 If Your Bank Has Questions
If your bank flags the address or asks for confirmation:
You can confidently confirm that the payment is legitimate and that Stripe is the payment processor for Garage Technologies Inc.
Stripe processes billions of dollars in payments for companies worldwide. The routing information and addresses they provide are pre-verified and can’t be altered.

If additional verification is needed, you may share this reference:
“Garage Technologies Inc. uses Stripe as its authorized payment processor. Stripe’s banking operations are based in San Francisco, CA, and the addresses shown are Stripe’s registered bank and account holder locations.”

Bottom line: As long as the account number, routing number, and beneficiary name match what’s listed on the invoice, the payment will reach the correct account — even if the address differs from the company’s physical location.
💡 Wires are routed using the bank’s address, along with the account and routing numbers — not the account holder’s address.
