Setting Up Your Kimoby Pay Account

Setting up your Kimoby Pay account is quick and easy. All you have to do is enter your details to start receiving deposits in your bank account.

Once your setup is complete, you can activate an automatic thank you message for customers who complete their payment. It will show your customers that their business is important to you and reassure them that the payment is complete. It's an easy way to boost customer satisfaction with very little time investment.

You can also activate the reference autocomplete in Kimoby Pay to fill the payment request amount in an invoice automatically, depending on your DMS.

Collection of Personal Information During Onboarding

We are required by Canadian and American laws to follow AML/KYC ("Know Your Customer") Compliance. KYC obligations for payments require Kimoby to collect and maintain information on all Kimoby account holders. These requirements come from our regulators and are intended to prevent fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing.

For more information on the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act, click here

Other than the law requirements, we collect this information to protect you and your business. Without these verifications, anybody could open an account to process payments under your name, and you'd be liable for them.

Rest assured that the documents and information you upload when completing the form are secure. We partner with Stripe, one of the biggest and most trusted online payment processors. The documents are uploaded as a secure file and analyzed using image recognition tools, so no humans will see or will be able to tamper with or download your ID. Kimoby does not have access to those files.

The information Kimoby is required to collect differs from country to country and typically includes (but is not limited to): 

  • The individual creating the Kimoby account
  • The business associated with the Kimoby account
  • Any individuals who ultimately own or control that business

For Canada, the requirements are the following:

  • Business type
  • Company name
  • Company tax ID
  • Representative: Name, date of birth, address

 For the United States, the requirements are the following:

  • Business type, website, MCC
  • Company name, phone, address, tax ID, and owners
  • Representative: Name, date of birth, address, email, phone, tax info
  • Owner: Name and email

Requesting Kimoby Pay

Getting Started

After clicking on Complete account set up, your account is active and you can send your first payment request. You may need to provide more information to receive your first deposit if the automated review process identifies a discrepancy in your information.

If we need more details to complete your account, we will request the information or documents by email. You will be able to add this information directly in the Kimoby Pay settings.

Switch From Merchant Connect to the Newest Version of Kimoby Pay

With the new version of Kimoby Pay, it's worth it more than ever to make the switch to benefit from automatic invoice creation on CDK and R&R, automatic fraud protection, and modern payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

To do so, follow this procedure:

  1. Contact our support team. They'll guide you through the process and answer any questions you might have. 
  2. With the support team, you will decide on a date and time for the switch to occur so that your payment processes are not held up.
  3. On the decided date, the support team will deactivate your Merchant Connect account and alert you when the change is completed.
  4. For security reasons, we don't save your banking information, so you will then have to go back to Kimoby to enter your account information, as described in the section above, Requesting Kimoby Pay.
  5. You are all done. Once the form is complete, you will be able to process payments immediately.
