What is a lockbox service?

Quick Answer

A lockbox is a bank-operated PO box where customer payments by check are received, opened, scanned, and deposited the same day. Banks charge $0.25-$1.50 per check plus a monthly fee — saving AR headcount and accelerating cash by 1-3 days.

Lockbox processing flow from customer mail to deposited cash.
