Payouts from Arbor appear on bank statements as 'URN=<School URN> PYMNT'. This format cannot be changed as it is set by the payment provider, Stripe. Schools should inform Local Authorities or MATs of their URN for payment identification. The URN can be found in the School Details page, and Local Authorities or MATs can use GIAS to identify schools by URN.
Payouts from Arbor show as ‘URN=<School URN> PYMNT’ (e.g. URN=123456 PYMNT) on bank statements.
It is not possible to change the format of the identifier on bank statements, as this has been set in agreement with our payment provider, Stripe. If you wish Stripe to change this setting in future, please contact the Stripe team.
If you make payouts to a Local Authority or MAT bank account, we recommend letting them know your URN so they can identify which payments come from your school.
- You can find your school's URN from the School > School Details page.
- You can also supply them with the Settlement Statement to help identify payments.
If you are a Local Authority or MAT, you can use GIAS to find out which school has these URNs.
