Pay your team with a tap

Send payments to your contractors via email or text. They can choose from a range of deposit options, including ACH and instant debit card transfers.* If they join Found, you can instantly send payments from your Found account to theirs—for free.

* Transfer limits apply to instant debit card transfers and are subject to change.

Fast, secure, digital W-9s

Onboarding and managing contractors doesn’t have to be a hassle. Request a contractor’s W-9 anytime or require it before they can accept payment. Found securely stores their details, so you have all the information that you need to stay compliant.

1099s, automated and effortless

At the end of the year, Found automatically generates complete 1099-NEC forms for any contractors you’ve paid over $600 and can even file them for you.

Less stress, more savings

Found brings banking, payments, and bookkeeping together with no required monthly or per-contractor fees.¹ With everything tracked in one place, there’s no need to reconcile across platforms. Each payment is automatically recorded as a deductible expense, helping you keep more of what you earn.

Pay on your own schedule

Stay ahead by scheduling payments in advance, or save them as drafts to finish later when it’s convenient. For repeat payments, simply duplicate a previous one with a few taps.

Here’s what customers have to say about Found

Real-time information.

I can’t justify an accountant, and a lot of businesses my size can’t. Being able to get real-time information on how much I owed in taxes, I love that.

Sade T.

Best business banking ever.

I can track my mileage, create invoices, add money, track spending, and add contractors under my business. I’m getting everything I need to build my brand.

Queen P.

Awesome business app.

Contractor enrollment is easy along with transaction categorization. Plus, 1099s are automatically generated. The best business bank app out there.

Mauro A.

User friendly.

Extremely user friendly and for the most part runs like a consolidated Quickbooks, but doesn't cost you a bunch of money.

Tracy T.

Helps me keep track.

Helps me to keep track of all of my expenses and tax deductions without having a bucket of paper receipts.
