Effective June 1, 2016, PA WIC will begin transitioning to a new banking provider. Beginning June 1, 2016, PA WIC will print checks for the new banking provider, Solutran (in association with Citizens Alliance Bank). Potentially, June through October, 2016, vendors will process the existing check image (“Existing FI”) shown below to be utilized by Fulton, as well as the new check image that will be utilized by Citizen’s Alliance Bank (“FI Being Issued After June 1, 2016”) shown below. Highlighted changes to the Citizen’s Alliance Bank check include account number, transit routing code, and layout changes that will bring PA WIC into better compliance with X-9 National Financial Services standards.
Stores using CheckScan will need to go to Vendor Assistant, and download and install the new Checkscan Version 2.2 to be able to process the new Citizen’s Alliance Bank checks.
In preparation for this upcoming period of transition, PA WIC wants to remind all vendors that, in accordance with 28 Pa. Code §1105.3(c)(19), a WIC authorized store shall deposit a WIC check it accepts directly into its bank account no later than 45 calendar days after the “First Day to Use” date on the WIC check.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Brian Watts, PA WIC Finance and Retail Store Manager, at the Bureau of WIC at (717) 783-1289 or at bwatts@pa.gov.
