Request to Disconnect GitHub Sponsors Express Account from Stripe

Hi GitHub Support Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm reaching out to request the removal or disconnection of my GitHub Sponsors Express account from Stripe. This account still appears in my Stripe dashboard, and I’d like to remove it because I no longer use GitHub Sponsors and don’t want it mixed with my other apps.

I already contacted Stripe Support, and they confirmed that only the platform (GitHub Sponsors) has the ability to disconnect or delete the Express account. They shared this official support reference confirming the same:
👉 https://support.stripe.com/express/questions/how-can-i-delete-my-express-account

For your reference, here’s the account ID:
acct_1QekmYCjSqU4kc0c

Stripe Case ID: #23683160

They also mentioned that if you need to verify or discuss this further, Stripe support can be contacted directly using that case ID.

Could you please help me remove or disconnect this Express account from Stripe on your end?

Thank you for your time and help,
Enzo

GitHub Sponsors accounts are indeed managed via Stripe Express, and as you mentioned, only the platform (in this case, GitHub) can initiate the disconnection or removal of an Express account.

To proceed with this request, I recommend contacting GitHub Support directly through the [GitHub Support portal](https://support.github.com/contact). Be sure to include:

• Your GitHub username
• The Stripe Express account ID (acct_1QekmYCjSqU4kc0c)
• The Stripe case ID you mentioned (#23683160)
• A direct link to Stripe’s support article confirming that only GitHub can remove the account: [Stripe Support Article](https://support.stripe.com/express/questions/how-can-i-delete-my-express-account)

This will ensure the support team has all the details they need to process your request efficiently.
