What is Lockbox?
Lockbox is a feature that will help eliminate receiving and processing paper checks from owners to your HOA. When Lockbox is enabled, we assign a PO BOX for your community where all owner payments are mailed. The checks are then scanned and deposited electronically into your bank account. The deposits will show up in your ledger already categorized and broken down by payment. There is no fee to enroll in Lockbox. The only fee is a $2 charge per check processed. The $2 fee is billed along with your subscription fees, automatically.
Lockbox services are provided free of charge to our subscribers using Alliance Association Banking!
