Should I void or delete a payment?
- Delete a payment: This removes the payment from your records. You can delete payments if you haven't sent your payments to us yet.
- Void a payment: This changes your payment dollar amount to zero. You may need to make adjustments to balance your books. This doesn't stop a direct deposit from processing and doesn't return funds to you. You may not be able to void payments already offloaded or processed.
