To stop a payment on a check through Internet banking, you would typically need to follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Internet banking account.
2. Navigate to the "Bill Pay" or "Payments" section of your account.
3. Look for an option related to "Stop Payment" or "Cancel Payment."
4. Select the option to stop a payment on a check.
5. Provide the necessary information, such as the check number, date, and amount, as well as the payee's name and any additional details requested.
6. Review the information you entered and confirm the request to stop the payment.
Once you've completed these steps, your bank will process the stop payment request. It's important to note that there may be a fee associated with stopping a payment, and the effectiveness of the stop payment request may depend on the timing and other factors. It's recommended to contact your bank's customer service or refer to their support documentation for specific instructions and details regarding stopping a payment through Internet banking.
Keep in mind that stopping a payment on a check should be done as soon as possible to increase the chances of success.
