What is a Stop Payment order?

Stop payment orders are a request from an account holder to their financial institution to not process a payment. A stop payment can often be useful in helping a member avoid fraud, negating incorrect details on a check to issue a correct one (in the event of the date, amount, or payee being wrong), and/or voiding payment as a result of cancelled goods or services.
