Case Study: EQUITYMULTIPLE automates investor distributions and scales real estate investing with Dwolla

Real Estate Marketplace Integrates White Label Bank Transfers

EquityMultiple is an online real estate investing platform that democratizes access to institutional‑grade commercial real estate for accredited investors. As deal volume grew (investors have participated in more than $700 million in transactions) the company’s manual payments—writing checks or wiring funds taking up to ten minutes per transaction—and spreadsheet reconciliation became unsustainable, so EquityMultiple chose Dwolla as its payments solution, using Dwolla’s white‑label API, Send & Receive payment flow, IAV and Dashboard to meet scalability and compliance needs.

Dwolla implemented a seamless white‑label integration, dashboard and dedicated customer support that enabled programmatic control of cash flows, automated investor distributions, and easier compliance monitoring. The Dwolla solution eliminated spreadsheet workflows, handled 1,000+ monthly transactions reliably with no distribution downtime, and provided fast, responsive support—letting EquityMultiple scale payout operations confidently while continuing to grow its platform.
