Lockbox App
Many online electronic bill pay services are not 100% online. The payee
might not be set up to accept electronic payments, so the bill pay
service will print out large numbers of paper checks and then mail them
to the lockbox, where they will be processed alongside all the other
paper checks. One benefit of the lockbox service to the commercial customer is that it
can maintain special mailboxes in different locations around the
country and a customer sends payment to the closest lockbox. The company
then authorizes a bank to check these mailboxes as often as is
reasonable, given the number of payments that will be received. Because
the bank is making the collection, the funds that have been received are
immediately deposited into the company’s account without first being
processed by the company’s accounting system, thereby speeding up cash
collection.
Very nice blog having information about Lockbox Processing
