• Key Concepts: 
  Lockbox processing is a payment processing system used by companies to streamline the receipt and processing of customer payments. It involves the use of a dedicated bank account, known as a lockbox, to which customers send their payments. The bank then processes the payments and deposits them into the company’s main account. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use lockbox processing, companies must first set up a dedicated lockbox account with their bank. Customers are then instructed to send their payments to this account. The bank will then process the payments and deposit them into the company’s main account. Companies can also set up automated processes to ensure that payments are processed quickly and accurately. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a lockbox account, it is important to ensure that the bank has all of the necessary information about the company, such as its address and contact details. This will ensure that payments are processed quickly and accurately. It is also important to ensure that customers are aware of the lockbox account and have all of the necessary information about it.
