Check parameters
To pay down loan proceeds, you can transfer funds by sending a physical check to the borrower or a biller (merchant or business). This is useful when you have to pay billers that don't accept payments via Mastercard RPPS.
You can add an optional Base64 encoded attachment to accompany the check, and it will be mailed as a PDF.
After a check is issued, it takes about 5 - 7 business days for receipt (CR uses USPS first class mail). If a check isn't cashed after 15 calendar days, it is canceled.
You can contact MPL Ops to stop payment on a check, and for any questions regarding check delivery or receipt.
Webhooks are reported when a check is processed, mailed, cashed or expired. For more information on webhooks, see View Webhook events available .
IMPORTANT When you add a date field in a request, the format must be: yyyy-mm-dd, such as 1970-12-05.

These are the requirements for creating your PDF:

- 8.5 x 11 margins are required. Any margins that are smaller or larger than this will not run properly through our programs.
- PDF must be created by Adobe Version 1.4 or better.
- PDF must be in portrait orientation. Inserts oriented in landscape may not print correctly.
- All security on PDF must be removed. PDF can not have edit restriction locks and can not be password protected.
- PDF must be able to display the full page on “actual size” print settings. If an insert is too large to print on the “actual size” setting, the insert will not print properly and the page may be cut off.
- The insert must have all settings embedded/flattened. Fillable form PDF’s that are not embedded cannot be processed correctly and will be rendered blank.
- The blue shaded area shown below should be kept clear. This area is where 2D barcodes are placed.
