Introduction

Treezor allows your end users to cash checks.

Checks are a traditional means of physical payment, mapped to Payin objects, with a paymentMethodId attribute set to 26.

Configuration – Checks are not enabled by default

You can request access to this feature by contacting your Treezor Account Manager.

Important – Limitations

• Recipient name on the check must match the Wallet owner name.
• Maximum amount set by Treezor. Contact your Treezor Account Manager to define your limit.

Process

Check cashing into a Wallet implies the creation of the relevant object in Treezor API and the physical handling of checks so that they can be processed.

The steps are the following:

1. You create a Payin (paymentMethodId 26)
2. Treezor sends you a payin.create webhook (status 151124) allowing you to mail the check in
3. You mail in the physical check to the indicated postal address
4. The check is processed by Treezor's partner and is either:
   • Accepted – The payinStatus is set to VALIDATED
   • Refused – The payinStatus is set to CANCELED and the check is mailed back to you.

The processing of a check follows strict delays:

• Delay between the check Payin creation and physical check reception can't exceed 14 days
• Delay between the physical check reception and the validation can't be lower than 11 days

Tip – Check life cycles examples are available

Refer to the Life cycle section for more information.

Anatomy of a check

The physical check contains information that you have to include in the corresponding Payin object.

CMC7 line	The unique identifier of the physical check printed in magnetic ink at the bottom of the check. Made up of: CMC7A – The first part of the CMC7 line CMC7B – The second part of the CMC7 line CMC7C – The third part of the CMC7 line
RLMC key	The 2-character key, enclosed by <> or () used to check the integrity of the CMC7 line (%97.)
Drawer	Information about the user who emitted the check.
Beneficiary	The user who receives the check and cashes it.

Key attributes
