Can the maximum number of outside and in-house check fields on the Xpress Teller Funds In screen (20 for outside checks and 10 for in-house checks) be increased per CU?

When I print checks and money orders via Xpress Teller, will I get a receipt for each item, or a single receipt for all of them?

Does Xpress Teller allow tellers to cash checks for non-members?

Screen Overview

The Withdrawal Account Information section displays the account from which funds will be taken for the check or money order. This account was specified on the first Checks and Money Order screen or at the top of the screen. Enter the amount and pay to information.

Use Print & Add Another (F5) to post and print the check or money order.  After the OFAC scan is run), the screen will clear and the default fee will be reset and you will move to the first screen to select whether to print a check or money order.  When I print checks and money orders via Xpress Teller, will I get a receipt for each item, or a single receipt for all of them?

If no other checks are needed at this time, use Post & Complete (F6). You will return to the Xpress Teller Search screen.

  • NOTE: If the teller has Xpress Teller Transaction limits, a warning message will appear if the limit is exceeded. Learn more about Xpress Teller Transaction Limits.

Continue/Enter refreshes the screen.

Each Payee will be run through an OFAC scan starting on the OFAC Name Breakdown screen. Each payee will receive a scan. If you create two checks for a payee (in sequence) the subsequent check will not receive a scan but if you alternate payees the payee will receive a scan the second time. (Mary, Bob, Mary = three scans, while Mary, Mary, Bob = two scans). Once the name is scanned, your return to the Xpress Teller Search screen.

  • Notice that the Available balance shown here will take into account any funds being deposited into this account during this same transaction. This is so that the check/money order you print can use funds being deposited during this transaction. Because the transaction has not technically been posted yet, the current Balance will not yet reflect this amount.

  • The default fee will appear (if your credit union is configured for check printing and money order printing fees), and, if allowed by the configuration, can be changed if necessary. (Any fees that are manually changed or waived will be included on the Fee Waiver Information Report.)

  • NOTE: The name and address of the “Pay to” for this check will be printed on the middle portion of the check stub to fit into a standard window envelope. To keep it from being obvious that a check is enclosed, be sure to fold the check so that that middle portion appears in the window. The account number will not be printed on the check stub for privacy reasons.

  • If a check needs to be reprinted because the Pay To information is incorrect or the check itself was damaged, use the Reprint CU Checks feature to mark the original check as spoiled and print another check for the same amount. (This creates a new check in the check register but does not produce another withdrawal from the member's account.)

Pay to Name Fraud Block List

After the OFAC scan is run, a Pay to Name fraud block list scan is run against the name entered in the Pay to line.  Take care to enter the Pay to name in a way that the scan will most effectively be run. If the Pay To Name is a match or partial match to the name in the block list, you will see a Suspect warning message.

My “pay to” name that I am running against a fraud list has a common word, for example LLC, Co., Inc., Incorporated, or Company. What should I enter in the Pay to line?

Posting a Transaction at the Teller Line that Causes an Automated Non-Return Fee to be Charged

You can configure your Overdraft/ANR settings so that you can post a withdrawal, either with cash, check or money order, into the account's negative balance (ANR) limit.  Learn more in the Automated Non-Return (ANR) processing topic and in the Automated Non-Returns booklet.  A confirmation window will appear for each fee that will be charged. (Fees are charged per sub account that dips into the ANR limit and also per check/money order that dips into the ANR limit.)

This field will only appear if your credit union is configured to require check or money order printing fees.

  • For members who are waived from fees because of age or aggregate balances, the field will not appear. If the member is subject to fees but is eligible for free items, the field will begin displaying only after all the allowed free items have been used.
