Stripe Connect was not designed for B2B flexible work

Not built for contingent staff use cases
  • Payment freezes due to unnecessary KYC requirements
  • No self serve portal
  • No contractor features like benefits and help desk
  • No mapping of your org structure or entities
  • Missing lifecycle capabilities (e.g. background checks, automated calculation of pay, wage garnishment, 1099 dispute resolution)
Designed for developers, not finance teams
  • Developer required for customization
  • Must build TIN verification with separate API 
  • Disconnected 1099 workflow
  • No personalized support
Hidden costs that add up
  • 1-7 business day delay in funding your account requiring extra cash deposits in Stripe
  • >0.25% fee on all payment volume
  • 1.5% processing fee for instant payments
  • Up to $5 per ACH payment
  • Double currency conversions in Canada, Europe and UK

The cost of Stripe can get out of control as you scale

Stripe pricing levers accelerate your costs
  • % of payouts volume
  • $ per active account per month
  • Incremental fees (e.g., tax filings)
Wingspan scales linearly or better with volume
  • Flat $ per provider paid per month (unlimited payments per month)
  • Volume discounts
