Taxpayer Verification

Why did my Substitute Form W-9 fail verification?

  • Social Security Number (SSN) on your Pay Portal profile is incorrect or contains spaces or dashes. The format should be 9 digits.
  • Business Name and/or Employer Identification Number (EIN) may not yet be available across all IRS systems if your EIN was issued less than 4 weeks ago.
  • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) servers are experiencing high volume or downtime.
  • There have been multiple unsuccessful attempts to verify.

Am I eligible to receive a Form 1099?

If your total payments from Renew Financial Pay meet or exceed the IRS threshold of $600 USD over the course of the tax year, you are eligible to receive a Form 1099.

If you are unsure about whether or not you meet this requirement, you can view a list of your total payments for a given period by logging in to your Pay Portal and following these steps:

  1. Click History
  2. Adjust the “To” and “From” dates. Maximum search history is 365 days.
  3. Select Load funds as the Transaction Type.
  4. Click Search
  5. If necessary, to view more payment information on a single page, increase the number of rows displayed on the search results.
  6. Calculate your total earnings by adding up the values in the “Credit” column.

In addition to meeting the $600 USD IRS threshold, a Substitute Form W-9 must be submitted and in good standing prior to December 31st of the year a Form 1099 is issued.

If you meet the IRS threshold of $600 USD but your Substitute Form W-9 was submitted after this deadline, contact Renew Financial directly for assistance obtaining your Form 1099.

Tracking Your Payment/Transfers

What do the payment status descriptions refer to?

Payments and transfers go through various stages while being processed. Updates are noted on your Pay Portal to keep you apprised of your funds and when you can expect them.

What is a Receipt ID?
The Receipt ID is a record of the transaction which can be referenced when contacting customer support.
Where can I find my destination bank account or debit card number?
  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. Click History
  3. Click on the transaction description to view the details.

Note: For security reasons, only the last four digits of your account information will be displayed.

Why does my account need review?
As part of our compliance program, we may require that you provide some additional information in order for you to continue to receive funds. For security reasons, we will not ask you to provide or verify personal information via email. Please visit your Pay Portal to update your information and follow steps to review your personal information.
It is past the estimated deposit date. Why haven't I received my funds?

Our goal is to send your funds to you as quickly as possible. However, once the transfer has cleared our systems, processing times can vary according to the receiving bank and any intermediary financial institutions involved in the transaction. Depending on your country and region, some transfers may take longer than others to be received.

Why am I getting multiple emails?
If you have initiated multiple transfers from your Pay Portal, you will receive separate cash out notifications for each transfer.
How do I update the destination bank account for my payment?

After a payment has been processed, the destination account cannot be changed. However, you can update the destination account for future payments by following these steps:

  1. Log in to the Pay Portal
  2. Click Transfer
  3. On the Transfer Center, click Action > Update
  4. Update the information
  5. Click Confirm.
My payment amount is different than I anticipated. Why?
When a payment is initiated, the amount transferred from your Pay Portal will be deducted, along with a transfer fee (if applicable). In the case of wire transfers, the recipient bank may impose processing fees which will be deducted from your balance.
