Overview
Jobber Payments is our fully integrated payment processing platform that lets you manage client card information, payments, and deposits in Jobber. But with great power comes great responsibility; which is why we need some information upfront when you sign up for Jobber Payments and your consent for third-party providers to verify your information and keep our payments business safe and operational.
Know your customer regulations
One of the advantages of Jobber Payments is that you are able to set up your account quickly and then begin accepting payments right away. It's been proven that when you offer your clients the ability to pay via credit card that you get paid faster. That means that with the quick Jobber Payments setup you can get paid even faster.
Jobber Payments are processed through our payment partner, Stripe. One of the reasons they are able to support such a quick signup process is their unique registration process, where they require a user's date of birth and last four digits of their SSN to programmatically verify identity. These requirements come from regulators and financial partners and are intended to promote transparency. They are used as a preventative measure to stop users from using complex company structures to hide terrorist financing, money laundering, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.
As of March 2024, there are new verification requirements for Jobber Payments accounts based in the United States and Canada. If your business details aren't updated prior to the deadline, your payouts will be paused. The deadline is:
- March 31, 2025 (if you are based in the United States)
- January 13, 2025 (if you are based in Canada)
We understand that providing this information might feel uncomfortable or you might have some hesitation. The reason that we ask for this personal information is to comply with Know Your Customer regulations that both Stripe as well as Jobber Payments need to be compliant with. These regulations apply in both the United States and Canada, but the required information varies slightly by country. The information required to use Jobber Payments in both the United States and Canada is listed below:
Update your information - United States
If you need to update your information, you will see a banner in your account on Jobber.com with information about what information needs to be updated. Only the account owner can update this information.
To ensure your service isn't interrupted, the information that you may need to update includes:
Your address
Sole proprietors and single member LLCs must provide their business address – This must be a valid physical address (for example, the address must exist in Google Maps). This address cannot be a PO box.
If you are based in the United States, you must provide an address for any representatives and owners associated with your Jobber Payments account. The address itself does not have to be located in the United States.
Person verification
While signing up for Jobber Payments or updating your information, you'll be asked to select an account representative and provide their information. The information required depends on your account set up:
- Individual: Individual name and SSN
- Sole proprietor: Individual name and SSN (or EIN if you have one)
-
Single Member LLC (that is disregarded for federal tax purposes):
- If owned by an individual: the owner’s individual name and SSN or EIN. The LLC’s name or EIN should not be used.
- If owned by a corporation or partnership: the owner’s name and EIN. The LLC’s name or EIN should not be used.
-
LLC (that is treated as Corporations or Partnerships for federal tax purposes)
- Corporation: Business Name and Entity’s EIN. If your EIN was recently issued by the IRS and the IRS database doesn't recognize your details yet, you can provide a recent SS-4 confirmation letter or Letter 147C so we can accept your tax details temporarily until the IRS updates its database.
- Partnership: Business Name and Entity’s EIN
- Tax Exempt Organization (e.g. Nonprofit): Organization Name and Entity’s EIN as found on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search tool. The Nonprofit organization business type should only be used for tax exempt organizations registered as a 501(c)(3) organization. Other 501(c) organizations should not select the Nonprofit organization business type and should select one of the other available business types.
- Other entities: Enter your name and EIN as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents. This name and EIN should match the name and EIN shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity.
Note
If you have processed over $500,000 during your lifetime with Jobber Payments, the business representative and all listed account owners will be asked to provide the full 9 digits of their SSN/ITIN to confirm that we have the correct SSN/ITIN on file.
Update your information - Canada
