# Understanding Your Payee Profile

Your **Payee Profile** is the central location where you manage your core business or personal details in PaymentWorks. This information is reusable and shared with customers you connect to, streamlining onboarding and reducing repetitive data entry.

---

### What the Payee Profile Is

Your **Payee Profile** acts as your master record in PaymentWorks. It includes your legal, tax, contact, banking, and insurance information. You enter this data once, and it’s used every time you connect with a new customer.

### What Information Lives in Your Payee Profile

#### **Primary Information**

Details that identify your business or personal identity:

- **Company or Legal Name**
- **DBA Name** (if applicable)
- **Primary/Headquarters Address**
- **Website**
- **Primary Contact Name, Email, and Phone Number**
- **Description of Goods and Services**

#### **Legal Entity & Tax Information**

Information about your legal and tax status:

- **Business Type** (business, individual, sole proprietor)
- **Tax Country**
- **Legal Name**
- **EIN, SSN/ITIN, or Non-US Tax ID**
- **Tax Classification**
