Essentials to know

Key things to know about your transition to Payment Center

What you need to do

Review and verify users and permissions

  • Follow the instructions in the Payment Center User Guide.

ACH and Wire templates

  • Verify and approve your ACH and/or Wire templates in Business Online.
  • If a template is not converted for any reason, add it to Payment Center so it is ready to use in the future.
  • Recreate any changes made to templates or beneficiaries in Commercial Center after May 20. Changes made after May 20 will not be transferred.

Alerts and recurring payments

  • Create alerts and recurring payment schedules.
  • Recreate any future dated ACH and Wire payments. Note that all future dated payments (both single and recurring) will not be transitioned automatically.

File import maps

Frequently Asked Questions

ACH transactions submitted prior to 2:15 pm. ET Monday through Friday designated with a same-day effective date will be processed the same day.

The daily cutoff time for submitting domestic Wire Transfers is 6:15 p.m. ET. For international wires, the cutoff time is 4:30 p.m. ET.

We will transfer your ACH and/or Wire templates to Payment Center. You will need to review them carefully to ensure everything is transitioned as expected, make any adjustments needed, and approve them during the preview period. If we are unable to transfer a template for any reason (e.g., if it had required information missing), you may need to define it in Payment Center.

Yes, as a best practice to help mitigate fraud, we recommend that at least two users are involved in the creation and release of electronic transactions. All payments in Payment Center require some form of approval (automatic approval, approval by submitter as a second step, or approval by a second user). If a payment is not in Approved status, it will not be extracted for processing.

For added security, users sending Wire Transfers may receive a phone call for verification.

When entering a Wire payment or template, a “Purpose of Wire” entry is always required. This field can be found under Payment Details, Line 1, “Purpose of Wire” on your wire form. If this field was not populated in a transferred template, you may need to modify the template to include the “Purpose of Wire” before the template can be used to send a payment.

For international wires, Payment Center provides real time rates. When sending an international wire, the approver must review and confirm the rates before the wire is released from Payment Center. This is the final (additional) step when sending an international wire.

ACH reversals and deletes (transactions and/or batches) may be submitted by an authorized company representative by emailing an ACH Maintenance form to us. The ACH Maintenance form can be found in Business Online under “Contact Us”.

Payment Center supports the payment types outlined below. However, you may not have access to all types depending on your historical use of the ACH network:

  • Credit Origination: cash disbursement, corporate vendor payments, corporate trade exchange (CTX), payroll, child support payments, tax payments (federal, state, and local), and consumer payments.
  • Debit Origination: cash concentration, corporate collections, consumer collections, WEB, and TEL.
  • Nacha File Import: used to upload a Nacha file

When creating an ACH payment batch, users should not include an offsetting entry to balance the batch. Similarly, when using the Nacha File Import feature to upload a Nacha file, the file should not contain an offsetting entry to balance the file. The settlement account defined for the ACH Company ID included in the file will automatically be offset.

ACH returns and NOCs are updated once per day at [insert time]. This differs from Cadence. Cadence reports returns and NOCs multiple times per day.

Huntington corrects ACH transactions after the third occurrence. Please note that fees may apply for each NOC received as well as the automated repair.

  • Admin Reports: Roles Report, BOL Company Detail Report, and User Permissions Report

Alerts will not be transferred from your current service, but you will be able to reestablish alerts in Payment Center.
