Can I place a stop payment on a paid check?
You can – but only if you’ve previously returned the check for a no-pay decision or a missing endorsement. Otherwise, your stop won’t be placed. How to return a check
Here’s how to place a stop on a previously returned check with a status of paid:
- In Online Banking for Business, select the Payments & Receivables tab.
- Under "Stop Payments", select Create Stop Payment.
- Choose the Stop Type and Account.
- Enter the Check Number.
Note: Check number is a required field. Payee, Amount and Date are optional. - Select the Reason for Stop.
- Select the Term.
- Select Verify Details.
- A warning message will appear. To submit your request anyway, select Complete.
If you’ve previously returned this check, your request will be processed.
Note: If your check has not previously been returned due to a no-pay decision or missing endorsement, your stop will not be processed.
