How do I place a stop payment on a check?
Placing a stop payment on a check can be done when you lose a check, or the person you gave a check has lost the check you made out. This prevents someone else from fraudulently cashing that check in the future. A stop payment can be placed online by following these steps:
Log into your Online Banking profile and select Customer Service in the menu at the top of the page. Click “Stop a check” under Account Services.
Complete the stop payment request form. Select the account you wish to place a stop payment on and input a reason (if applicable). You will need to input a Payee, which is who the check is made payable to. You will need to add a check number; this will ensure the system can detect if someone attempts to cash that check. You may include a check date and amount to help further narrow down the check information. You may also place a stop payment on a range of checks; this can be used in the event you lose multiple checks. Select continue.
Please note that a standard stop payment charge applies to any stop payment placed on an account. This fee, and all other account fees, are referenced in our Retail Summary of Fees.
While checks can be useful for paying for many services, there are other alternatives to pay vendors and people without using a check. Online Bill Pay allows you to send funds electronically to major vendors, directly from your checking account. All you need is your vendor’s name, account number, and other information you can find on your bill, and you only have to set them up one time.
To pay individuals, you can send money using Zelle® through the Main Street Bank Mobile Banking app.

Main Street Bank’s policy is to not exchange currency above the amount of $50 with anyone who does not have a deposit or loan account with the bank. We enforce this because:
- This protects the bank and our customers from possible counterfeit currency or currency used for fraudulent/illegal purposes.

We appreciate your understanding of our obligation to protect our customers and the bank from potential risks.

What is backup withholding?
According to the Internal Revenue Service, in the US, backup withholding is a specified percentage withheld by the payers to be paid to the IRS on most kinds of transactions reported on variants of Form 1099. Backup withholding may be required for several reasons, including but not limited to:
- an improper TIN/ITIN/ATIN on the W-9
- an IRS backup withholding order
- certain types of payment are always subject
Banks or other businesses that pay certain kinds of income must file an information return (Form 1099) with the IRS. The Form 1099 shows how much an individual was paid during the year. It also includes the individual’s name and Social Security Number (SSN) or other taxpayer identification number (TIN).
Payments reported on a 1099 are generally not subject to withholding. However, “backup” withholding is required in certain situations.
