Canceling a check payment
Routable’s cancellation window for a check is 3 hours from the time you send the payment.
e.g. Let’s say you send a payment at 8:47am PT. It will need to be canceled before 11:47am PT on your side. If you miss that window, reach out to our Support team.
If you need to cancel, void, or issue a stop payment on a check that has already been sent:
Contact your bank to void the check, then
Contact our Support team to update the status of your payment in Routable
