For Bank Accounts Placed on Hold As A Result of a Return

Please review the the following categories for next steps.

The returns are separated into three categories: NSF, BAD ACCOUNT, and UNAUTHORIZED. A separate action is taken per category:

NSF: The system will not place a hold. Future transactions are permitted.
BAD ACCOUNT: A block is placed on the account. The merchant will need to provide a new bank account
UNAUTHORIZED: A block is placed on the account.
- Note: Merchant will need to contact their issuing bank and have their bank Funding IDs whitelisted and advise Payrix is able to allowed to debit/credit.
  
  If after the utilizing the whilelisting process above, another reject occurs, a letter from the merchant’s issuing bank needs to be provided in a Support Ticket indicating that the bank has whitelisted the funding ID in order to lift the block on the account.

Due to NACHA regulations, Payrix Support is unable to lift blocks without bank letter consent for both debits and credits if your first attempt to whitelist is unsuccessful.

If the reject falls under BAD ACCOUNT and UNAUTHORIZED, the merchant will need to provide:

a request to their bank whitelisting the (below) funding IDs and;
a request for a letter from their bank to Support stating Payrix is allowed to credit and debit the account.

Once this is completed, submit a Support Ticket for the hold to be lifted with the bank letter attached.

Worldpay Funding IDs

Send the following funding IDs to your bank in order to have whitelist ACH payouts to your account:
