Why do Google developers need to authenticate their identity? Is it Google Payments or the Google Developer Store that leads the real-name authentication?

This is GGZC. Recently, someone asked about an abnormal situation. The US account completed identity verification. When adding a receiving bank account, whether adding a Payoneer or PingPong account, the small amount of payment test was successfully received, and the amount was immediately confirmed in the Google backend. But soon after or the next day, I received a notification that the test deposit did not pass and the bank account addition failed

The questioner uses a Google Admob account. Everyone knows that Google accounts in most countries and regions need to complete identity verification. What is identity verification? It is equal to real-name verification. The following figure is the original text and translation of the email provided by the questioner. I have marked the most likely reasons. Do Google developers think that Google Play developers lead identity verification? In fact, they may be wrong.

Google real-name verification is the name of the account’s payment information, which can be understood as Google Payments real-name verification and identity verification. Because the payment information of the pay.google.com system is Google Payments, and the payment information of common business accounts such as Google Developers, Adsense/AdMob/AdWords, etc., are all Google Payments.

Google Payments is the financial core of Google, and all payments are completed through it, so there is a possible reason in the email reply above: the account holder’s name does not match the name you registered with the bank.

The following is a special analysis and interpretation of the problem of Google identity verification and the account holder’s name not matching the name you registered with the bank, and the remaining paid content will be revealed to you.
