Article summary

The NSF functionality allows you to mark a recorded payment as either an 'NSF Notice' or 'Charge Back'

  • The ability to mark a scheduled payment as an NSF Notice is structured for scenarios where payment's funds were not received because there were insufficient funds from the borrower to cover the payment. Therefore it's simply marked as a notice.
  • As opposed to a Charge Back where a payment amount was received and recorded into the lender's account, and because the borrower's payment wasn't covered to due insufficient funds from their bank account, it'll reverse the funds received and is reflected in the loan's register. Under this scenario, the funds "bounced back" out of the lender's account.
    Note: Under both NSF scenarios, the pay period the NSF payment was applied to will reopen.
Update
NSF records on loan schedules will now appear in red:

For either of these scenarios, you have the option of adding a fee. To be able to do this you'll need to access the 'Lender Fee Types' under the 'Admin' tab (optional add-on module pricing) to create an NSF Lender Fee and set the desired amount to charge a borrower. Once the Lender fee is created you'll be able to select it when you attempt to NSF a payment.

Note: If you do not have the lender fees add-on module you will not be able to charge for the NSF. However, we do eventually plan on integrating the ability to charge an NSF without this module (at no additional cost).

The process to mark a recorded payment under a Bryt loan is similar whether it's an ACH or check-based payment. So, this guide will be covering the check-based (manual) method of recording a payment. 

NSF Notice

NSF Note
To view the NSF Note, you'll want to click the 'Options' button on the far-right Options column on the loan's schedule.
The drop-down options for this Options button on the NSF record will show either 'Delete' to delete the NSF record from the schedule, or 'NSF Note' to view the notes that were added when a payment was marked NSF. 

From there, you'll simply click 'OK' to close the dialog box. 

Note
Notice the applied NSF fee (Added lender fee.) for the pay period as well. Now the borrower would need to pay $1,100 instead of the original $1,000 payment. 


Charge Back - NSF


With the Charge Back method you'll see the same happens on the schedule as the NSF Notice method. However, the Charge Back method actually records entries on the register for incoming and outgoing cash flows.
With the Charge Back method shown, the pay period for 4/01/22 reopens and payments toward the loan can resume as normal.

How to NSF an ACH Payment
To NSF an ACH Payment and clear it from the schedule, you'll need to go to the loan's ACH tab and click the NSF button. Follow the previously outlined steps to either apply an NSF Notice or NSF Charge Back.

Note: Aside from the NSF button, if the borrower's ACH payment Status is marked as 'Returned Other' then you'll see a 'Del payment' button to clear it from the schedule. Additional information on clearing/deleting an ACH payment here
