I received a 1099k form from Dwolla. What does this mean?

Since the IRS and states are targeting voluntary compliance on income reporting, Dwolla is required to report on gross payments received by users to the applicable agencies. Both the federal and state Form 1099-Ks are information returns and the gross payments reported on a Form 1099-K do not necessarily represent reportable income. The form should be used in conjunction with other tax records (bank statements, invoices, etc.) to determine taxable income.
Here is a great informational resource that covers the 1099-K federal and state thresholds. https://www.dwolla.com/form-1099-k/

Will you be using my colors and logo?

Yes! That is the benefit of a white label application. The entire platform will have your brand and colors giving your client that the platform is your very own technology solution!

Where will my logo appear?

You will see your logo and colors across the entire platform as well as on email communication sent from the platform to your client.

Getting Set Up on the Platform

How long does the onboarding process take?

The entire onboarding process can be completed in as little as a few business days. Because we are moving money and setting up escrow accounts, your company does need to go through a third party validation approval process for compliance purposes.

What information is needed?

When setting up a paymints.io account, we would need basic information such as legal name, address, phone, and email but because we are moving money and setting up escrow accounts, we also need basic personal information for all control persons with more than 25% ownership in your company.

What documents are required?

As part of the third party validation approval process, setting up an account with paymints.io requires two important documents:

1. The IRS From SS-4 as proof of your Federal EIN
2. Driver’s license or other government-issued ID for all control persons who owns more than 25% of your company

Do we need to set up any additional bank accounts?

Due to security and compliance restrictions with escrow accounts, you will need to set up a separate holding account that will receive the incoming transfers.

You can then link the holding account with your escrow account.
