To activate ACH (bank draft) payments, a voided check is required. The voided check is used to verify the routing number and account number for the bank account you are authorizing. This helps ensure payments are drafted from the correct account and reduces the risk of delays, rejected transactions, and misapplied payments.
- Accuracy: Confirms the correct routing and account numbers directly from your bank-issued check.
- Security & fraud prevention: Helps validate the account owner and reduces the risk of unauthorized or incorrect account drafts.
- Fewer NSF/returns: Minimizes bank rejections caused by incorrect digits, which can result in fees and delays.
- Compliance: Supports standard ACH onboarding practices and internal controls for payment processing.
- Write “VOID” in large letters across the front of the check (do not cover the routing/account numbers at the bottom).
- Take a clear photo or scan of the voided check.
- Upload it using the Voided Check upload field in this form.
- Ensure the following are readable: Bank Name, Routing Number (9 digits), and Account Number.
