If you need to move money using ACH then Dwolla is the number 1 choice. Highly recommend. We shopped several potential partners and Dwolla was better across the board. I count the Dwolla team and my team - they're always there to help and always go above and beyond to help us.

I had a customer who wanted me to do his wife's birthday party. I sent him the estimate and he gave me a deposit from his Venmo account. When the party was done, he forgot to pay for a week. I reminded him with an invoice and he sent a deposit. It wasn't immediately deposited, but it [arrived the next day].

I find that it is very easy to use, manipulate and I've had no issues at all whenever using it for Business or even personal purposes as well. I've never received any complaints or questions on either side whenever using it as well, and have only heard others speak about it in a positive manner too.

PayPal has more work items for businesses. It has invoicing, time tracking, and marketing strategies. I could [use] PayPal to run my business like I do with QuickBooks. Affiliates with other business is crazy. Plus, they also carry debit and credit cards for business and personal purposes. Venmo is the little brother [of PayPal].

Return on Investment
Dwolla
  • Without Dwolla, we would have to invest a lot more of our company resources and time into accomplishing something that can take as little as 15 minutes. Dwolla's integration is almost invaluable to us.
