Stop Payment Order Request Any owner may request a stop payment order on any check/draft drawn on their account. To be binding, the order must be in writing, dated and signed and must include the following information that accurately describes the check/draft.
- The full checking/draft account number
- The check/draft number(s) to be stopped
- The amount of the check/draft (optional)
- The check/draft must not have cleared on or before date of this stop payment request
We must have sufficient advance notice to allow us a reasonable amount of time to act on this stop payment request. Failure to provide any of the above pertinent information in a timely manner may result in the check/draft item to be paid.
Although payment of an item may be stopped, you may remain liable to any payee, including us. You agree to indemnify and hold the Credit Union harmless from all costs, including but not limited to-attorney fees, damages, or claims related to our refusing payment of an item.
Duration of the stop payment request will be for six (6) months and may be renewed for an additional six (6) months by requesting the extension in writing so long as the initial request is still in effect. We are not required to notify you when a stop payment request expires.
