Qurbie
Qurbie lists its office address as 404 S Roan St, Johnson City, Tennessee 37604.
What it is
Qurbie is a platform for managing contractors, payments, and compliance, focused on paying 1099 contractors rather than providing full payroll services. Contractors can enter their hours and request payment; a business must approve the work before payment by direct deposit. Qurbie says approved payments arrive in about 1–3 business days. During onboarding, it handles contractor contracts and tax information collection, and businesses can review and e-file 1099 forms at year-end. The platform describes real-time reporting and alerts for contractor management. It says sensitive information is hidden unless someone with the right permissions requests it, and that transactions and data access are logged. Qurbie says it retains employee data for at least seven years and lets businesses export and print forms. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with contractor self-service and ad hoc payment schedules listed. There is no free plan. Essential costs $25 a month and charges 2.5% capped at $40 per payment; Professional costs $50 a month and charges 2% capped at $35 per payment. Pay As You Go has no listed price and charges 3% capped at $50 per payment.
