Stop Payments

Stop Payment allows you to request a stop payment instruction for individual checks or ranges of consecutive checks written on a particular account. When the request is placed through this system, before actually placing the stop request, the system determines whether the check has already been paid or if it already has a stop payment instruction in place and if so, does not accept the request. Otherwise, the system activates a stop payment instruction and displays a confirmation of the instruction. Optional notification messages, delivered to the user who initiated the request (you), provide processing status. The following stop payment request conditions exist: • Pending: The stop request has been placed and is awaiting processing. • Paid: The check has been paid and cannot be stopped. • Failed: The stop request failed. If this occurs, the stop payment is not in place and if the check is presented, may be paid. You may want to try to place the stop payment again later or contact Northwest Bank for assistance. • Canceled: The stop payment request has been canceled and is no longer in effect. • Stopped: The request was successful and a stop payment instruction is in place for the associated check(s).
