First Southern Bank iLockbox™ services are designed to accelerate your receivables cycle, while giving you access to funds and receivables data sooner.

First Southern Bank offers standard and specialized lockbox processing suited to your company’s industry, volume and cash flow cycle. The Cash Management Team at First Southern Bank will work closely with you to explain the many processing options available and will design a lockbox program tailored to your company’s needs.

How iLockbox™ works:

Your customers are instructed to mail their payments and coupons to a post office box set up in your name. After your mail is picked up from the post office by an authorized First Southern Bank agent, it is brought to our Miami lockbox site and processed according to your customized instructions. Funds are deposited directly into your First Southern Bank account on the day of receipt. Images of checks and coupons, summary and detailed deposit reports and a custom formatted A/R posting file are available the next morning on our secure iLockbox website. Correspondence and returned items are mailed to you daily.
