2023 (starting February 1) Rate Policy:
BASL uses an automated check run process utilizing "Digital Check" processing. This is different, by being flexible in many aspects. The first thing is that your correct Email Address is important for us to have in our accounting file, if you want to get paid without issue.
1. BASL will continue to do check runs every week typically on Mondays. This will include the week's games 2 weeks prior (not the single week prior!). We maintain 1 week buffer between each check run as we adjust and confirm the weeks on-line Field Marshal reports.
2. The referee "check stub" gets emailed out to the referees who are part of the check-run from our Vendor/Accounts Payable staff (usually Irene)
3. Digital checks are created in our accounting system and integrated to our processor Checkbook.io The referee receives an email containing the Digital Check from "BASL Soccer" "support@checkbook.io" with complete instructions on how to automatically deposit it to your Bank, or to print out.
Make SURE @checkbook.io emails are finding its way to your APPROVED email box and not sitting in your SPAM box.
If you choose to link the deposit directly to your Bank, subsequent payments from BASL will automatically transact and process deposits directly to your bank without further intervention. Please note choosing the printout option of the Digital Check contains everything required to do mobile banking of both front and back of the BASL check. If you choose to print and take the printed check to a bank Teller, they may be new to Digital Checks, so let support@checkbook.io know if you received difficulty.
The next improvement we will be working on is the ability to have the Game record Check-stub detail automatically part of the digital check detail, rather than through a separate email from Irene. We'll get there.
Here are 2 typical questions we receive:
Do recipients need to sign up to deposit a Digital Check? No, recipients don't need to sign up for a Checkbook account to receive a Digital Check. First-time recipients have to verify their bank to deposit the Digital Check; all future transfers will be deposited automatically.
How Do I Verify My Bank? There are two ways you can verify your bank to set up an account. You need to verify your bank to send, receive or request money:
Instant Verification:
You can verify your bank instantly if you have an account with one of the partnered banks. You will be able to see a list of these banks through a drop down menu. Select your bank, enter your online banking Username and Password, our system will verify your bank instantly and securely. Once your bank has been verified, you are all set to send and receive checks!
Manual Verification Using Micro-Deposits:
If you are not comfortable entering your online banking Username and Password, or if your bank is not listed as one of our partners - select "My bank is not on this list" from the drop-down menu.
After manually entering the account and routing number, Checkbook will send you an email about manual verification and deposit 3 transactions into your bank in 1 business day. These amounts are all under $1 consisting of 2 debits and 1 credit. Simply take note of these amounts and enter them in the email. Your verification will be complete.
How long does it take to receive funds? Standard processing takes 3-4 business days after the receiver has verified their bank.
