Cash Management Services – Payroll Benefits and Recurring Payments.

Our Cash Management Services let you manage cash flow securely and efficiently. Available to business customers through Online Banking, you can send and receive payments (direct deposit or direct billing) electronically through an automated clearinghouse.

Payroll Benefits

Direct deposit makes payday simple for your employees. No more heading out to deposit or cash their paychecks – It’s already in their accounts.

Because there is only one debit to your business account at end of the month, there are no payroll checks for your accounting department to reconcile
Your business will use far fewer checks, and you no longer need to sign all of those paychecks
You won’t need to reissue checks or place stop payments on lost payroll checks

Recurring Payments Benefits

Examples of recurring payments could include monthly utilities, fitness club dues or other memberships, property management fees, donations, and other continuing payments.

Your payments arrive on their due dates
You have immediate access to funds
Eliminates the need to send out additional notices or pay collection fees
