Return Code (R03) - Unable to locate account or name does not match

What it means

The EFT wasn't processed because either the name on the account is wrong or the specified bank account is closed.

How to fix it

For tenant payments, Association owner payments, and rental application fees

Confirm that the bank account is still open and try again.

In most cases, this return code indicates that there was a typo in the bank account number. Banks do not often cross-check the name on the EFT with the account holder's name, instead relying solely on the account and routing number. Carefully retype the bank account number when resubmitting the EFT.

For rental owner and vendor payments

Confirm that the bank account is still open and try again.

Buildium strongly suggests you get epayment information from a voided check. If a voided check is unavailable, get a letter from the bank or another "official" document.

Formal Definition

R03 - No Account/Unable to Locate Account

The account number structure is valid and it passes the check digit validation, but the account number does not correspond to the individual identified in the entry, or the account number designated is not an open account. (Note: This Return Reason Code may not be used to return POP entries that do not contain an Individual Name.)
