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
