  Key Concepts: 
  A lockbox account is a type of bank account used by companies to process customer payments. It is a secure, automated way to collect payments from customers and deposit them into the company’s main bank account. The company provides customers with a unique lockbox address, which customers use to send their payments. The bank then processes the payments and deposits them into the company’s main bank account. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a lockbox account, companies must first set up an account with their bank. The bank will provide the company with a unique lockbox address that customers can use to send their payments. The company can then provide this address to its customers, who can then send their payments directly to the lockbox account. The bank will then process the payments and deposit them into the company’s main bank account. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a lockbox account, it is important to ensure that the address provided by the bank is correct and up-to-date. It is also important to ensure that customers are aware of the lockbox address and how to use it. Additionally, it is important to monitor the lockbox account regularly to ensure that all payments are being processed correctly and deposited into the company’s main bank account.
