Frequently Asked Questions About Fundbox

  • We offer two services, a revolving line of credit and net terms on business purchases. This information applies to the revolving line of credit service.

    When you draw funds, you’ll choose a weekly repayment plan. That plan will include the number of weekly payments, and the amount you’ll be repaying each week. All of the weekly payments will be for the same amount and include a portion of the total principal and fees due on the draw.

    Weekly fees

    Weekly fees are the standard fees paid on each draw.

    When you draw funds, your repayment terms include amortized weekly fees. This means that while the total amount of your weekly payments is the same each week, the breakdown between principal and fees changes. You will pay more of the fees and less of the principal early in the plan. And less of the fees and more of the principal later on. You can always review the fees before you draw.

    Please note that if you were approved for Fundbox before December 3, 2019, all draws you made before January 7, 2020 included flat weekly fees. In other words,the weekly fee for each week of your repayment plan was the same amount each week.

    Other fees

    These fees are only relevant in certain cases.

    Late payment fees

    If you miss a payment one week, it will be due at the end of your payment plan, and fees will be added to it. That last week you will need to pay

    the amount of the missed principal;

    the missed weekly fee;

    an additional weekly fee for this additional week that has been added to your repayment plan equal to the average of the weekly fees for all of the other weeks of the plan; and

    a $6-NSF fee, if the missed payment was due to non sufficient funds in your account.

    Weekly payments are debited automaticallyas long as you have enough funds available in your checking account to cover the next debit, you will never miss a payment.

    Non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee

    If you do not have enough funds in your checking account to cover a debit, the debit will bounce. This is called “debit failed due to non-sufficient funds (NSF)” and it carries a fee from Fundbox and a separate fee from your bank.

    Send an email campaign

    Send emails to your customer list, letting them know that you now offer net terms

    with Fundbox. Try sending three emails over two to three weeks, encouraging

    buyers to sign up. For new customers, include a link to sign up for Fundbox in the first

    “welcome” email you send them.

    For existing or long-term customers, remind them that Fundbox is an option by adding

    a note about net terms to all of your regular email campaigns.

    Promote net terms in all your marketing email campaigns

    Whether you’re running a special promotion or sending your monthly newsletter, it

    always helps to reiterate that you offer net terms to approved customers. You can

    strategically place a graphic or copy promoting Fundbox in your email.

    Add Fundbox to your email signature

    You’ve probably got your name, phone number, and website in your email

    signature already. Consider adding a link to your Fundbox signup

    landing page there, too.

    Feature Fundbox on your website

    Make it clear to your buyers that you accept Fundbox and offer net terms.

    Add the Fundbox logo to your website.

    If you use Zoey,OroCommerceor another platform that we’ve integrated with,

    feature it prominently in your checkout flow, so customers know it’s an option.

    Use social media

    If you’re active on social media, that’s the perfect place to announce your new

    financing program. Depending on which social networks you use, Instagram, LinkedIn,

    Twitter, and Facebook are all good places to periodically mention that you offer net

    terms with Fundbox, and link to your customized webpage.

    Customers may be approved for up to $100,000 in Fundbox credit.

    This is a revolving line of credit: As customers pay Fundbox for purchases they made with Fundbox credit, their credit line is replenished and they can draw again.

    With revolving credit, customers are able to continuously make purchases with net terms until they’ve reached their credit limit. Similar to how a credit card works, whenever they draw funds, that amount is taken from their total credit limit, and whenever they make a payment, their available credit goes back up.

    Each customer who applies is assessed individually and receives a personalized credit limit and fee rate.

    Net terms let customers make a business purchase now and pay for it later.

    When a customer makes a purchase with Fundbox, we’ll send the vendor the funds right away and the customer can wait to pay us back. In most cases customers have 60 days (net-60) to pay with no interest or fees, but the number of days may vary.

  • We offer two services, a revolving line of credit and net terms on business purchases. This article applies to the net terms service.

    Yes. You can turn on autopay from your dashboard if you’d like us to debit the total amount due automatically, as soon as your free net terms end. You will also have the option to turn on autopay when you accept a request for payment from a vendor.

    If autopay is turned on and there are not enough funds in the business checking account to cover the debit, you'll need to give us a call to get back on track.

    You can change your mind and turn autopay back off anytime before the debit is processed, when net terms end. If autopay is off, and you do not manually pay by the end of your net terms, weekly payments will begin automatically when net terms end, in most U.S. states. In that case, the original amount that we sent to your vendor, plus a fee, will be divided over 52 weeks. You can always pay your outstanding balance anytime during extended terms and we’ll waive all remaining fees.

  • Your Fundbox Credit limit and fees could change over time. We review all approved and active accounts periodically tomake sure that each business is receiving the maximum amount of Fundbox Credit for which it is eligible.

    Two of the most important factors are:

    1. Your Fundbox payment history.Paying on time is important. Late payments incur fees and can hurt your credit limit and fee pricing. We automatically deduct payments from your account each Wednesday, so make sure there are sufficient funds available.

    2. Your bank transactions. Transactional data, such as account balance and the volume of credits and debits in your bank account, give us insight into your business.

    3. The additional data you add to your Fundbox account.Adding additional types of data is optional. You decide which types of data best reflect your business performance.Add them to your account and you may qualify for more credit. We may review any data you addduring future credit reviews.

    When you draw funds, each weekly payment will include fees. Rates start at 4.66\% for a 12-week repayment plan, but can change over time and vary from one applicant to the next.

  • We offer two services, a revolving line of credit and net terms on business purchases. This information applies to the revolving line of credit service.

    Yes. We understand that businesses sometimes need to draw funds from multiple lenders but we don’t extend credit to businesses who have more than three lenders in addition to Fundbox. As long as you have no more than three lenders other than Fundbox in a 90-day period, you can also draw funds from Fundbox.

    This includes lenders who have extended you a business term loan, business line of credit, invoice financing, startup business loan, equipment and vehicle financing, short-term business loan, merchant cash advance, or a personal loan for your business.

    If you have more than three lenders other than Fundbox in a 90-day period, we may debit your total outstanding Fundbox balance and disable your Fundbox account. Once you finish repaying other lenders, we may be able to enable your account again.

    After enabling auto bookkeeping, you may get a message that your Fundbox liability recorded in you Quickbooks account doesn't match your current outstanding balance.

    There are a few reasons this might have happened.

    If the amount currently recorded is lower than Fundbox’s calculation:

    The interest portion of the repayment was recorded as a reduction to the liability.Solution: the interest should be reclassified as an expense.

    The advance was “matched” with an outstanding invoice.Solution: Make sure that Fundbox advances never mark invoices as paid. Your receivables should only be marked as paid when funds are received from your customer.

    Fundbox advances were not recorded in a liability account.Solution: Please adjust to the amount provided by Fundbox. Any interest associated with previous advances should be recorded as expenses.

    If the amount currently recorded is higher than Fundbox’s calculation:

    Fundbox repayments were not recorded in a liability account.Solution: All repayments should reduce the liability amount by the difference between the cash paid and the interest expensed.

    We recommend that you consult your accountant before making any adjustments.

    Auto bookkeeping automatically records Fundbox transactions in your QuickBooks Online. When you first connected your QuickBooks with Fundbox, you were asked whether you'd like to use auto bookkeeping.

    When a customer places an order using Fundbox, the vendor can either process payment right away or authorize the funds and process payment at a later date. If the vendor chooses to authorize the funds, that amount of the customer’s Fundbox credit will be reserved for that purchase until payment is processed.

    Authorization is generally valid for 30 days, though this may vary by vendor. If payment is not processed within this timeframe, the authorization will expire and the Fundbox credit will become available again for the customer to use on other business purchases. The order will be canceled and the vendor can contact the customer directly to complete the transaction.

    What happens if the final amount due for an order turns out to be different than the amount authorized?

    Sometimes the final amount due will turn out to be different from the original amount authorized due to unexpected shipping charges or a number of other unanticipated expenses.

    If the final amount due turns out to be less than the amount authorized, the vendor will simply enter the lower amount and we will send them the adjusted amount. The rest of the authorized Fundbox credit will become available again for the customer to use on other business purchases.

    If the final amount due turns out to be more than the amount authorized, the vendor will enter the higher amount. We will send an email to the customer asking for confirmation. If the customer confirms the adjusted amount, we will transfer the funds to the vendor.

    What if the customer does not want to accept and adjustment made to an authorized order?

    If the customer declines the adjustment, we will cancel the order and the vendor can contact the customer directly to complete the transaction.

    If the customer does not confirm or decline the adjustment within 5 days of the authorization expiring, we will send a follow up email. If the customer still does not confirm or decline the adjusted amount 5 days from receiving the follow up email, we will cancel the order and the vendor can contact the customer directly to complete the transaction.

    Turn on auto bookkeeping for QuickBooks Online so that your accounting software stays up to date while using Fundbox.Auto Bookkeeping was designed to automatically record Fundbox transactions in your QuickBooks Online, so you don’t have to do it yourself. Based on the Double Entry Bookkeeping method, the advances and repayment transactions are recorded to ensure your QuickBooks Online stays balanced while using Fundbox.

    Transactions will be recorded into your QuickBooks as soon as thebank automatically confirms to us that that the transaction was successful (typically within 5 business days).

    How does it work?

    When you clear an invoice the transaction will be recorded as:

    an increase to your cash account to reflect the deposit into your bank account

    a corresponding increase entry in a liability account, to reflect the amount owed to Fundbox.

    When you make a payment the transaction will be recorded as:

    a withdrawal from your cash account which reflects the total payment made

    an increase in an expense account labeled "Fundbox Interest" to reflect the interest

    a corresponding decrease entry in the liability account, to reflect the advance repayment amount.
