Wire Transfer Declined Due to False Bank Information

Galaxy Store Seller Portal

Firstly I got this reason:

The bank has requested to verify the full address provided by you since the address is not verifiable on Google Maps.

We kindly request you send us your address again filling out the form below to proceed with the wire transfer successfully:

Seller’s Basic Information >

  • Address:
  • Postcode:
  • State/Region:
  • City:

Is this a joke? Google Maps? It’s a small city in Ukraine, and you expect to find the exact address just by the street name and building number? Please use official Ukrainian resources instead then, not Google Maps!

Also this one:

The specific issue causing the inconvenience:
:play_button: False Receiver: Address must be identified

I had no issues using the same bank information with Google Play Console, Google AdMob, and Apple Connect.

How can I switch to PayPal instead of a bank transfer?

Support doesn’t work, I tried to request updating the bank info, but my request was ignored.

Hello android_dev2,

From the context of the message you provided from the Seller Portal team, it sounds like your bank is not able to verify your personal or company address that you provided in Seller Portal (“Seller’s Basic Information”). The Seller Portal team is asking you to enter or update this information in Seller Portal (your address, postcode, state/region, and city). Once this information satisfies your bank, the wire transfer will occur.

If you want to switch to PayPal, you will need to work with the Seller Portal team. See https://seller.samsungapps.com/getSellerGuide.as#/0601010000?id=_0601010101 for more information about switching accounts. When you contact the Seller Portal team, be sure to provide as much contextual information as you can to help them understand your situation and what you want to do.

I don’t think the Ukrainian bank was the issue, because previously the bank received payment from Seller Portal, but I put wrong IBAN number (account which is supposed to used for non-commercial transactions), so my bank declined transactions to my account using this IBAN, so then I asked Seller Portal to update to the correct IBAN number (for commercial income) and keep all other data the same, because it’s the same bank, just the correct commercial account (IBAN) this time. And then it never worked, Seller Portal sent me messages related to “incorrect addesss” as I mentioned in this post.

Recently we have updated something again for my Seller’s Portal Developer profile, so I just have to wait again if it’s going to work this time.

Again, I have received the following issue:

False Receiver: Address must be identifiedValidate the biography at the Seller Portal, and compare it to the bank holder profile for completing a transfer.

Where does this issue happen?

  • From Samsung bank’s transfer?
  • Intermediate bank’s transfer?
  • My bank?

How do they receive the Financial Information about how to send the payment? We can’t solve it until I understand how my bank receives the payment information. Because I don’t have any issues with receiving payments from Apple Connect or Google Play Console / Admob using the same bank information (IBAN).

Also, how can I switch to PayPal payments instead?

Hi android_dev2,

Please contact the Seller Portal team for assistance. You can ask them exactly what information needs to be corrected or you can ask what information you need to provide to switch to PayPal (see https://seller.samsungapps.com/getSellerGuide.as#/0601010000?id=_0601010101 for more information about switching accounts).

To contact the Seller Portal team: from Seller Portal, click Help > Contact us (the Contact us link appears below the top blue tab area), then click Contact us at the Customer Center (near the bottom of the page). If a pop-up with “Did you mean samsung.com?” appears, close the pop-up.

I guess no way to use bank transfer, again Google Maps:

Please check again if the address in your Seller Portal profile and registered in your bank match and searchable from Google map.

Hi.

I have set PayPal for payments/payouts. Why was it declined again?

Please fix it.

Don’t use my previous bank information, I have set it to PayPal already in my account .

But you still sent the following error to me:

The deposit transfer for the previous month has been declined due to the submission of inaccurate financial information.

We kindly request that you undertake an investigation of the bank information on your Seller Portal profile to ensure its accuracy.

Hi android_dev2,

When did you send the Seller Portal team the information they required to update your banking information to PayPal? Was it between 26 August 2025 and 9 September 2025? Did you receive a response from them that your banking information was successfully updated to PayPal?

You need to contact the Seller Portal team and verify they have all the required documentation from you to switch your banking to PayPal and that they have switched your Seller Portal account to use PayPal. Otherwise, you will continue to get this same message every settlement period.
