If you are a company that requires clients to make regular payments or deposits to your account, then Over-the-counter Collections makes this procedure safe and effective. Instead of accepting payments and then having to deposit them into the Bank yourself, you can have clients make direct deposits into your account at any Belize Bank branch nationwide. We will process each entry into your account and give you a spreadsheet (after a designated period of time) for reconciliation purposes (paper or electronic options available). Your company can also register to be paid through our Online Bill Pay service. By registering with the Belize Bank as a “Payee” you give your customers the luxury of paying their bills to you online, and in turn gives you the luxury to see their payments at any time. You also have the flexibility of allowing any number of your employees to view customers’ online bill payment records.
