Is there a credit check?
No, we don't run a credit check on you or your business.
What business accounts are included with my looch profile?
Your looch profile includes a suite of business accounts designed to streamline how you operate:
• Primary Business: Your main business operating account.
• Tax Stash: Helps you set aside funds for taxes throughout the year.
• Contact Facing: Share this account with your contacts instead of the one where you keep your main balance. To help keep your funds secure, the balance in this account is auto-transferred to your Primary Business account every night at 11:59 pm ET, and outside pulls from your Contact Facing account are blocked.
• Payments: An accounts payable clearing account for handling all outbound payments.
• Payroll: A payroll clearing account dedicated to managing payroll and employee reimbursements.
Additionally, your profile includes a Checkout Payments, which stores funds from invoices and money requests paid on the payment portal, on your Woo store, or in-person with tap-to-pay. These funds transfer automatically to your Primary Business account, with the option to instantly transfer pending sales to a looch or external account for a 1.5% fee (min 50¢).
I like my current business account. Do I need to switch to looch if I sign up?
No, you don't. While we encourage businesses to use no-fee, accounting-ready looch accounts, we fully support businesses who prefer to continue with their current financial partners.
You can enroll as many external accounts as you want, and they will be added to your dashboard. Use your external accounts for transfers, sending payments, and paying bills, including using a credit card.
Can I use my credit card to send payments and pay my bills?
Yes! If you have a credit card that is mainly used for business expenses, you can subscribe it as an external account and it will become accounting-enrolled.
You can also use a credit card that is mainly for personal expenses to send payments and pay bills. In this scenario, you won't need an accounting subscription.
looch understands how to manage business payments made through personal accounts, ensuring your financial records remain organized regardless of your entity type.
Once you enroll your credit card as an external account, it will appear on your dashboard.
If you pay your bills using a credit card where you don’t carry a balance, you'll benefit from the remainder of your billing cycle and grace period interest-free.
Do I need to enroll my credit card to send payments and pay my bills?
Nope! You can add your credit card as a personal account and only pay the 3.3% + 30¢ processing fee when you use it to send payments and pay your bills.

Can I continue to use PayPal for my business?
Yes, both looch and PayPal offer peer-to-peer (P2P) instant payments. Unlike typical peer-to-peer platforms, looch uses FDIC insurance-eligible accounts¹. You can link any P2P wallet to your looch account.
If you keep a balance in your P2P wallet, you can subscribe it as an external account and it will become accounting-enrolled.
looch is an automated end-to-end accounting app that only charges a subscription fee per external account.
Does looch support multiple businesses?
Yes. Create a profile for each of your businesses and link them in the profile menu.
Each profile is tied to a tax ID. You can create a sole proprietor using your SSN or ITIN. You can also create LLC and corporation profiles using EINs.
Who can create a looch profile?
looch profiles include FDIC insurance-eligible¹ USD accounts and are available to US corporations, LLCs, general partnerships, sole proprietors, and foreign companies registered in the US.
To qualify, there must be a representative with significant control and management who resides in the US.
