How does a lockbox work? A lockbox service works by directing a company's in-mail customer payments (checks and cash deposits) and remittance documents to a secure PO box location or mailing address that's easily accessible to their bank.

A lockbox is a bank-operated mailing address to which a company directs its customers to send their payments. The bank opens the incoming mail, deposits all received funds in the company's bank account, and scans the payments and any remittance information.

Lockbox services are designed to expedite the collection of paper-based payments and provide timely payment information to update accounts receivable records. Lockbox services are usually provided by a third-party processor (usually a bank) that receives, opens, and processes payments for a government or business.
