Dwolla 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Well I use it with my property management software. The rates are okay, tenants set up their accounts and send rent via this portal. So it works for us okay.

Well, the set up is a bit clunky, and sometimes my tenants don't know how to make it work. But overall it is good.

Dwolla has superb APIs for processing ACH payments of our customers. They also have the very best customer support. They have rapid turnaround and I know that when I send them a query I will get an immediate answer. I have used their competitors and their customer support was none existent.

I would like better reporting tools on their site.

Payment facilitation between our clients and their clients.

I was happy to learn that Dwolla had recently added a “pay as you go” option. This would allow our clients to now send payments to their clients as a referral incentive. We obviously don’t want to spend $2k/mo for their “scale”package as we will gradually be processing more and more payments over time. Therefore we decided to start with the “pay as you” go option and then planned to migrate once we were doing a higher volume of payments. We built out everything required with api’s and learned they needed us to submit an application before we could submit our mobile apps to the apple App Store. We submitted that several weeks ago and needed them to respond on an urgent timeline as our clients had urgent needs for their mobile apps to be released. We have contacted their support with zero response and have let them know of the urgency of the situation and it’s been crickets. (It’s still just sitting in their queue) Anyway, hoping to salvage a relationship here, as we like the functionality. Just incredibly disappointed with the customer service options.

The API services provided by Dwolla have been reliable. In the 3 years we have used them since going live we have not had any major system issues and have had no downtime in our solutions due to any service outages from Dwolla

No major cons. We had a challenging and new use case for them to implement and didn't have any major issues when deploying

There are many things about the system that are great. The API and the documentation are excellent. The API is extremely robust, and the platform itself is easily navigable to perform actions manually. The ability to vet users by creating verified customer records is excellent as well. The initial sales conversation is great as well, and pretty much all expectations are answered. Even afterwards, having dedicated account managers and a dedicated slack channel are great.

Getting through the legal review is an arduous process. Afterwards, support through the slack channel is a bit slow. There is no phone based support. After the phone conversations with sales, you cannot call them back for support. There is no phone based customer support. There is no phone based technical support.

We are a fan of all the services that Dwolla provides.

The customer support process could be improved. It would be nice to see a list of issues we have reported in the past. I have reported some serious issues in the past, where the support rep has told me that everything is working as normal, when in fact there were issues. It seems that the average Dwolla support rep is not very interested in providing support. It is time consuming to explain how Dwolla works to a Dwolla rep.

I was spending a ton of time issuing payments to our customers each week. We needed a solution that would integrate easily into our existing flow and Dwolla fit the bill. It was easy to implement and our customers are enjoying a more streamlined process for receiving their payments. Dwolla has also provided us with a more flexible payout timeline as customers are requesting their payouts rather than me issuing them on a predefined timeline. We are seeing balances sit for longer periods of time as customers wait for a higher balance prior to requesting a payout. This is a win-win for both sides.

Most of our customers have not heard about Dwolla so it has taken a bit of educating them to ensure the payment process is safe and secure.

I like how Dwolla interfaces with our platform and streamlines our payment process for customers.

The verification process can take awhile and if there's an issue with user's verification (i.e. blurry document image, mismatched information, etc.) Dwolla doesn't notify the the user and help explain the issue. There's still a lot involvement on our side (as Dwolla's customer) to look into the issue, troubleshoot it and help the user make the correction). Overall, Dwolla doesn't really account for user errors. I'm hoping this functionality is in Dwolla's product roadmap, because I can't imagine scaling our business using Dwolla with it's current functionality . Also, the micro deposit verification method and time it takes to transact a payment from one customer to another seems too long when there is clearly the technology with other products to do even instant payments. Any way to tighten this window would be ideal.

The ease of integration matched with the low cost to process multiple ACH payments twice a week make this a great product.

The inability to process IAT or international payments.

Very easy to use. User interface is great and very intuitive. Customer service is very helpful and responsive as well

Initial implementation with our system was a tedious process but that is usually the case with financial software like this
