Once added, the transaction should be able to process. Please provide the routing number being used and we will forward it to Payrix so they can review it to see if it needs to be added to their database.       - [Article Navigation Guide](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/article-navigation-guide?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Article Navigation Guide](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/article-navigation-guide?hsLang=en#article-navigation-guide) - [Apxium Collect](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Features](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#general-features) - [Communications](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#communications) - [Client Experience](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#client-experience) - [Payments, Settlements & Reconciliations](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#payments-settlements-reconciliations) - [Engagement / Proposals](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#engagement-proposals) - [APX Auto (Direct Debiting Invoices)](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#apx-auto-direct-debiting-invoices) - [Instalment Agreements (Non-SOR On Balance Sheet Instalments)](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#instalment-agreements-non-sor-on-balance-sheet-instalments) - [Professional Fee Funding (SOR) - Funded Instalments](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#professional-fee-funding-sor-funded-instalments) - [Reports](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#reports) - [Integrations](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Onboarding Articles & Other Helpful Guides](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-collect?hsLang=en#onboarding-articles-other-helpful-guides) - [Apxium Audit Safe](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Features](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#general-features) - [Creating Offers/Subscriptions](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#creating-offers-subscriptions) - [Offer Emails and Documentation](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#offer-emails-and-documentation) - [Accepting / Declining Audit Safe Subscription](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#accepting-declining-audit-safe-subscription) - [Active Audit Safe Subscriptions](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#active-audit-safe-subscriptions) - [Audit Safe Renewal / Rollover](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#audit-safe-renewal-rollover) - [Pricing](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#pricing) - [Others](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-audit-safe?hsLang=en#others) - [Apxium Pay My Bill](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pay My Bill](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#pay-my-bill) - [Payments and Settlements](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#payments-and-settlements) - [Communications](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#communications) - [APX Auto (Direct Debiting Invoices)](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#apx-auto-direct-debiting-invoices) - [Payrix](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apxium-pay-my-bill?hsLang=en#payrix) - [Client POS - Non Integrated \[North America\]](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/client-pos-non-integrated-north-america?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Client POS - General Features](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/client-pos-non-integrated-north-america?hsLang=en#client-pos-general-features) - [APX Capital - Tax Pay for Introducers](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apx-capital-tax-pay-for-introducers?hsLang=en) - [APX Capital - Tax Pay For Borrowers](https://support.apxium.com/knowledge/apx-capital-tax-pay-for-borrowers?hsLang=en) [![Apxium Advanced Software Solutions for Accountant](https://support.apxium.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos/apxium-logo.png?width=144&height=50&name=apxium-logo.png "Apxium Advanced Software Solutions for Accountant")](http://www.apxium.com?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, Apxium HQ
