What is the difference between submitting a check payment and writing a check

You can issue a non digital payment (check) to a Vendor in 2 ways: 

1. Submitting BillPay - We recommend submitting your BillPay requests through the Abaca Online Banking portal, you can learn more here.
2. Off-Platform Checks - Paper checks are available to all Abaca banking customers. They are subject to our Off-Platform Check Policies

Off-Platform Check Policies

These policies only apply to all checks not issued through bill pay, including handwritten and checks printed directly from your accounting software. All BillPays submitted through the portal will follow the BillPay policies which can be found here.
