Our cutoff times are 11AM EST for checks and 6PM EST for ACH on weekdays. Checks will not be sent out on USPS holidays and ACH Direct Deposits will not be processed on banking holidays. Digital checks are typically sent instantly.

I have some questions about Digital Checks

Please see our Digital Checks FAQs page.

 

It is important for you to provide us validated information to send out ACH payments, including payee name, account type, routing number, account number, and payment amount. In some cases, the receiving bank may reject payments based on a mismatch between account information and payee name but this should not be counted on.

We geocode what we get on addresses so in some rare cases errors may get through, if they are not autocorrected or put in the payments repair queue. We’ve tried to make things as resilient as possible while being as flexible as possible and still trying to maintain quality control, so it’s a balancing act.

For check payments, the minimum is $.01 and maximum is only limited by what the clients bank allows. The maximum for ACH payments is 10K unless special approval for higher payments has been approved.

The field that will be passed onto the bank statements will be the Addendum field.

Send Date is for future dating payments. It defaults to either the current day (if it’s before our payment cut off time of 9AM MST), or the next business day if it’s after the cutoff.

You can cancel a payment up until it’s processing. This is typically 9AM MST for check payments, 5 PM EST for ACH Direct Deposit payments, and Digital Checks can be canceled up until the time the Digital Check is redeemed.
