Releventful Payments (Powered by Payabli)

What is Releventful Payments?

Releventful Payments is our integrated payment processing solution, powered by Payabli. It allows you to:

Collect deposits, progress payments, and balances directly inside Releventful.
Provide clients with a seamless payment experience.
Keep everything in one place — proposals, contracts, and payments.
Protect your business with secure, compliant payment processing designed for the event industry.

Why Do I Need to Apply?

To process payments, every business must complete a payment application. This is not unique to Releventful — it’s a federal requirement for all payment processors.

The application ensures compliance with banking regulations and protects your business by verifying:

Who you are (KYC: Know Your Customer).
That your business is legitimate (KYB: Know Your Business).

Without this step, your business cannot legally or securely accept card or ACH payments.

Path to Fast Approval

Follow these tips to avoid delays (from Payabli’s Path to AutoApproval):

Complete all required fields — don’t leave blanks.
Provide all supporting documentation upfront.
Use correct formats (MM/DD/YYYY for dates, no dashes in EIN, no nicknames/initials in names).
Match details exactly (e.g., driver’s license address must match the application).

Required Information & Documents

Owner Information

Valid, non-expired driver’s license or passport.
Social Security Number.
Residential address (P.O. Boxes not accepted).

Business Information

EIN/SS4 letter from the IRS.
Articles of incorporation or valid business license.
Physical business address (no P.O. Boxes).
Active website (or expected go-live date).

Voided business check OR official bank letter with account/routing numbers.

Processing Limits

Your initial processing limits are determined by the information you provide during your Releventful Payments application — especially your expected monthly transaction volume and largest single transaction amount.

Starting limits: Typically range from $25,000–$100,000/month.
Accurate volume reporting matters: Be sure to enter your true average monthly volume and maximum expected single payment size in the application. This information helps Payabli set your limits appropriately and prevents interruptions once you begin accepting payments.
Exceeding limits: If your actual transaction size or monthly volume exceeds the amounts listed on your application, the transaction will not be processed and your client will receive a decline error message.
Increases available: If you expect larger or more frequent transactions, you can request a higher limit anytime by providing supporting documents (proof of contracts, financial statements, or business growth) to the Releventful Payments Team.
Who sets these limits: Processing limits are determined by Payabli’s underwriting team — not by Releventful — to ensure compliance and financial security.

💡 Tip: Entering accurate transaction volume and payment size information up front helps you avoid delays and ensures your clients never experience declined payments due to low default limits.

Common Issues That Cause Delays

Incorrect SSN or date of birth.
Using nicknames, middle initials, or punctuation in names/titles.
Providing a P.O. Box instead of a physical address.
Inactive or unverifiable website.
Missing or mismatched bank details.
Missing financial statements for high-volume requests.
