What is the merchant application (KYB verification) process and how long does it take?

The application review process is a required “Know Your Business” (KYB) process to identify and verify the identity of customers in order to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorism financing. The approval process is fairly instant but there may be instances where it can take up to 72 hours for verification.

Sometimes additional information is needed to approve the application:

  • Data mismatch (e.g. the business legal name cannot be tied to the tax ID provided)

  • Business entity verification (i.e. we were unable to confirm that the business is a registered entity)

  • Enhanced verification (e.g. the business volume or business type warrants additional review).

Our payments team will reach out in the event additional information is needed.

Who do I contact about my merchant application?

If you have questions about your merchant application, please reach out to our support team by initiating a chat. They will be happy to assist you with your application status.

No, connecting to QuickBooks Online (QBO) is not required to use the Billing feature. You can use it independently within Financial Cents.

What payment methods can my clients use?

Your clients can pay using credit and debit cards or through ACH bank transfers (direct bank deposits). This gives them flexible options to conveniently settle their invoices.

Is my clients' payment information secure?

We leverage a third party payment provider to securely collect sensitive data and to keep our network out of PCI scope when processing your transactions. Our provider is held to the highest standard of security and is annually audited under SOC2 and PCI-DSS programs for compliance.

Can I send invoices in different currencies?

At the moment, only USD is supported for sending invoices.

Can I migrate existing invoices and payment methods from another system?

Schedule a call with our payments team. They can help you get started by:

  • Giving you an overview of the billing platform

  • Migrating your invoices

  • Migrating your payment methods

What should I do if a payment fails or is declined?

If a payment fails or is declined, you can view the reason by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the invoice where the payment failed.

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Payments section.

  3. Locate the failed payment attempt.

  4. You will see the reason why the payment failed.

You can take appropriate action, such as contacting your client or retrying the payment.
