Types of lockboxes

Alliance offers four types of lockboxes designed to compliment different processing needs:

Retail

A retail lockbox is typically a customer-to-business payment that constitutes a higher-volume, lower-dollar amount transaction. In most cases, the check amount equals the amount billed. These transactions include an encoding barcode such as a QR code, a scan line, etc. revealing pertinent information to capture. Learn more.

Wholesale

A wholesale lockbox is a business-to-business payment that reflects a high-dollar, low-volume transaction. A single check can cover multiple invoices and include other adjustments. These payments can be more complex. Learn more.
