Calculate Your Savings Using Electronic Payments

Initiating an ACH payment can cost a business pennies compared to the percentage-based processing fees that come with credit cards. A business accepting 250 credit card transactions a month can save up to $175 by switching to ACH payments. Our cost calculator helps estimate how much a business could save after implementing electronic payments.

Knowledge Based Authentication

We require identity verification for at least one party involved in each transaction.

Dwolla’s API has built-in features that assist with meeting the requirements of verifying the identity of a new user. Should a user fail the initial verification attempt due to invalid information, Dwolla’s Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) feature provides an alternative way for a user to verify their identity through a series of questions that are specific to each user. Questions are compiled from public and private data, such as marketing data, credit reports and transaction history.
