There is no risk. I’d recommend getting another bank account and taking this money directly into that account. Some CAs might suggest an OPC, but avoid getting it under your name as this is a permanent public record.

The secondary bank account is because some companies (nobody with a good name) ask you for 2 months bank statement for “address proof” but it’s just a way to vet your transactions and see if you have additional sources of income.

Bigger companies don’t ask also. It’s always the mid-tier SBCs.
