STOP PAYMENT REQUEST

When a member wishes to place a ‘STOP PAYMENT REQUEST’ on one or more of their share drafts the system allows you to enter that request into the member's history.  A ‘STOP PAYMENT REQUEST’ remains active on the system for 10 months (unless manually cancelled) then drops off the system. 

 

Placing a ‘STOP PAYMENT REQUEST’ will accomplish the following:

1.      The member has a record that a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST was received by the credit union.

2.      Tellers receive a warning if someone tries to cash this share draft over the counter in the credit union

3.      The system alerts you before posting share drafts via Program #24 that a share draft is going to be posted for which you have received a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST.

4.      The credit union can pull up a list via Program #5 Option I of all STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS placed by a member, which are still in force.

 

Note: YOU MUST STILL CALL YOUR SHARE DRAFT PROCESSOR TO PLACE A STOP

                 PAYMENT REQUEST WITH THEM SO THAT THE SHARE DRAFT WILL BE

                 RETURNED.

 

BASIC OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM LOGIC

 

When a share draft tries to clear your member’s account, the system looks for an exact match of information pertaining to that draft in Program #5 Option I.  There are several different ways you can provide information to Stop Payment on a share draft.  There are four information fields available as follows:              

Information Field                               Example

Single Draft Number                             Draft #510

Range of Draft Numbers                       Draft #510 thru #560

Draft Amount                                       $123.45

Dollar Amount Range                           $100-$150

You can enter information in only 1 field or as many as you choose, but remember:

 

 The system looks for an EXACT match of all information available before warning you of a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST.   If any 1 field is invalid the system will not recognize a match, and you will not be notified of the STOP PAYMENT REQUEST.  For this reason it is advisable to enter only the information you feel necessary to identify the item.

 

ENTERING STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS

1.      Access the member's account in Program #2.

 

2.      Under ‘Share-Withdrawal/Fees’ choose transaction #046 SP STOP PAYMENT REQUEST.

 

3.      Since this is not a dollar transaction, the ‘PRIOR-SHARE-BALANCE’ and ‘Enter TRANSACTION (DOLLAR) AMOUNT’ fields will say ‘N/A’

 

    4.     The cursor is in the ‘MANDATORY Enter starting DRAFT NUMBER’ field. 

1)    If you are entering a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST for a single share draft enter the draft number here.

2)         If you are entering a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST for a range of share drafts (more than one share draft with consecutive draft numbers), enter the first number in this field. 

5.   ‘Optional ! Enter ending DRAFT NUMBER’

1)    If you are entering a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST for a single share draft, leave this field blank.

2)         If you are entering a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST for a range of share drafts (more than one share draft with consecutive draft numbers), enter the last number in this field

6.   ‘Optional! Enter draft amount’

1)         If you leave this field blank the system will notify you of a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST for any share draft that matches the draft number or range of numbers entered above, regardless of the dollar amount.

2)    If you know the exact dollar amount of the draft for which you wish to Stop Payment you can enter that amount in this field. 

3)         If you do not know the exact amount of a share draft, but know that it falls within a range (i.e. between $50 and $60) you can ask the system to consider anything within that range a MATCH.  To do this enter the lower amount in this field.

7.   ‘Optional! Enter amount range’

1)         If you are entering a dollar "range", enter the largest amount in this field.

8.   Press ‘F11’ to view the voucher.  Regardless of the information entered, the dollar amount on the voucher will always be $0.00.

9.   Enter your Teller Password and press ‘F9’ to enter the transaction and print the voucher.

10. Notify your share draft processor that a STOP PAYMENT REQUEST has been place on this 

       share draft or range of share drafts.
