The phrase refers to multiple pieces of information; using the singular ‘détail’ changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In French, the choice between ‘ton’ (informal) and ‘votre’ (formal) signals the level of familiarity. When addressing a customer in a professional setting, use ‘vérifiez les détails de votre compte’ to stay polite. Also, avoid the Anglicism ‘checker’; native speakers prefer ‘vérifier’ or ‘consulter’. The imperative without a subject is perfectly natural in written instructions or notifications.
