09/06/2020
We are signing a merchant services contract with a third party. They have a service where the bank can share transactional data of customer accounts to determine if the commercial account it utilizing another card processor. I was under the impression that we did not have to disclose to our customers if we were only sharing commercial account info. Am I correct on this?

1099 Required for a $50 Refer-a-friend Bonus?
08/30/2020
We are trying to develop a Refer-a-friend program. We will offer a $50 bonus" for referring customer and a $50 bonus for the referred customer once the account is opened with direct deposit and they use a debit card a predetermined number of times in 60 days. We have a third party company that tracks referrals and bonuses which is trying to tell me I don't have to 1099 anyone because we're not paying the bonus at account opening - we're paying the bonus for meeting the qualifications of the program. Is a 1099 required for a $50 refer-a-friend bonus?
