No, you do not need to complete the verification process to make payments in Pay. However, your vendor will need to create a Fincent account (and be verified) to accept your payments. 

Fincent partners with Stripe for secure payment processing, and they require us to collect information about the person or company receiving funds.

• Data we share with Stripe for verification may include information about your vendor’s business’s legal entity and personal information about their business representatives and those who own or control it. 

• Verification is usually instant, but we may require additional information in some cases, such as a scan of a valid government-issued ID and/or proof of address. If so, Fincent alerts your vendor. 

Note: You must be on Fincent’s Starting, Growing or Thriving plan and join our closed beta to make payments.
