Paying contractors by ACH, without the spreadsheet

Collect W-9s, pay by ACH and have 1099 totals ready in January.

Payments

Contractors want to be paid on time and by direct deposit. You want their tax details on file before the first payment. Merrow does both in one flow.

How it works

Send an invite, the contractor enters bank details and a W-9 on their phone, and you approve the first payment. Every later payment reuses the details.

In January

Merrow totals what you paid each contractor and exports a file your accountant or payroll provider can use to file 1099-NEC forms.
