VERIFY ACCOUNT

WePay allows you to start collecting funds right away, but then requires verification of two things before they will release the funds:

1. Proof that it is a legitimate, legal organization
2. Proof that the person requesting the WePay account is officially connected to the organization

Please complete/verify your account within the first 40 days after account creation, or you won’t be receiving the donation money in your bank account. Here’s an example of a list of information that WePay would ask for you to fill out: WePay Verification Form

If WePay’s Trust and Safety team needs any additional information or documentation to complete your verification, they would reach out directly to you to obtain it.

Campaign Accounts

If you are creating an account for a campaign, you would need to provide an official document or filing that links the federal EIN number to a campaign filing that has your name on it, as the person creating the account.

If the document has another person’s name as the owner or treasurer, then that person will need to give WePay the filing and a note that you are capable of holding the WePay account.

In Washington state, we use a document called a “C-1” filing, which lists the EIN and name of the campaign owner and the campaign treasurer.
