Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I update both my Payee Name and my Address at the same time?
Yes. The form allows you to update one or both at once.

2. How long will it take for updates to be processed?
Typically, updates are processed within a max of 2 business days. Any checks already in the mail may still arrive with incorrect information by nature of being in transit at the time of the request. If you requested reissued checks, please allow the 2 business days to update and process reissue request, and 7-10 business days for USPS delivery timeline. 

3. Will I get confirmation once my information is updated?
Currently, we do not have a method for emailing a confirmation for every request, but if you have questions regarding closure, please reach out to [e-mail] for confirmation. 

4. What if I only need to update my address?
You can use the same form to submit an address change without changing the Payee Name.

5. What happens to checks already issued under my old Payee Name?
If you can no longer deposit checks with your previous Payee Name, you can request that they be voided and reissued with your updated information in this same form. 

6. Do I need to submit supporting documentation?
In some cases (such as a legal name change or business entity change), we may request additional documentation to verify the update. If required, we’ll contact you after your form submission.
