Create a Form W-8BEN
The following is an example of creating a Form W-8BEN.
Generating a Form W-8BEN
To create a Form W-8BEN directly from our API you’ll need information about the Payee and the associated form fields values.
tin or tinFingerprint?
We allow you to pass either the plain text tin or a previously created
tinFingerprint.
Response
The response will contain a unique documentId, the createdAt timestamp, the expiredAt timestamp. url to the generated pdf, and the withholdingRate.
Automatic TIN Verification
It’s important to note that if the combination of the Payee’s name and tin
has not been seen before on the Abound platform, a TIN Verification will
automatically be created. In the event that a new TIN Verification was
created, a tinVerificationId will be returned in the response nested in the
payee and/or the payer object(s).
