For proof, you can send us a bank statement, a bank letter on the appropriate letterhead, or a screenshot from PayPal.

If you are the admin of the account, you can view the Financial Entity associated with your account in your Business Manager Dashboard. If you'd like to be added as a financial account administrator, ask a current administrator for your organization. Once you're Facebook friends, they can add you directly on the Facebook Developers Site.
