When an eCheck gets returned for any of Flywire's customers who use the Elavon processor, it will follow the workflow process below:
Here's what happens from start to finish...
- eCheck payment is made in Staff Experience or Patient Experience
- eCheck bounces due to NSF (or other reason) with the bank
- Bank updates Elavon about the bounce
- Elavon updates Flywire about the return, and the patient’s account is updated
- Flywire updates the EHR in the daily posting file
Where to see a returned eCheck in Flywire:
- Log into the Staff Experience
- Look up the account
- Click the Payments tab
How to report on returned eChecks in Flywire:
