  • Why does my BigTime Wallet application status page say “Pending”?

If your application is “pending”, that means BigTime needs either more time or additional documents in order to complete the approval process. If there are documents you need to submit, those documents will be listed on this page. Once you upload those documents, you can resubmit your application.

  • What documents do I need to submit with my application?

When you apply for BigTime Wallet, you can bypass the hard credit check portion of the application by including three of your most recent bank statements. 

  • How will I know if my application has been rejected?

If your BigTime Wallet application was rejected, you'll receive an email notification that lists the reason(s) it was rejected. Once those issues have been resolved, you can resubmit your application to have it approved.

  • Why do you need my SSN/SIN for my BigTime Wallet application?

According to U.S. Federal Law, it's required for any merchant or business owner to submit their SSN for any transactional merchant agreement. If your firm operates in Canada and you have an SIN, you'll similarly be required by Canadian law to provide that number for any merchant agreement. Essentially, your SSN/SIN will be used to confirm your identity as the owner of your business. You can learn more about this by visiting the FinCEN webpage addressing this rule.
