Delayed Onboarding Threatened Revenue and Efficiency

The fintech partner needed to onboard multiple sub-merchants quickly to meet business growth goals. However, traditional lockbox implementation timelines—often taking 4 to 6 weeks—posed a risk to revenue and operational efficiency. They required a faster, repeatable model for lockbox deployment across their business units

solution

One Template. Many Sub-Merchants. Zero Bottlenecks.

CheckAlt partnered with the fintech provider to design a templated lockbox onboarding approach at the parent level. This allowed all sub-merchants to follow the same structure—streamlining setup, reducing customization, and accelerating the timeline for each new lockbox.
