Scalable Identity & Tax Verification for Marketplaces, Retailers, and High-Volume Payee Ecosystems
Retail and eCommerce companies operate in fast-moving environments with constant vendor turnover, seasonal contractor hiring, large affiliate networks, and high-volume payouts. Manual W-9 collection, inconsistent onboarding, and disconnected systems can quickly produce inaccurate vendor data, leading to IRS 972CG penalty notices, filing rejects, and operational bottlenecks.
TINCheck helps retail and marketplace organizations automate payee verification at scale with real-time TIN validation, OFAC screening, sanctions checks, and bulk data cleansing to keep financial and tax systems accurate year-round.
