Enter the name in various formats in the block list to ensure a match to the Pay To name provided is not overlooked. The block list database entry can contain excess characters as long as it includes all characters in the same order as entered for the Pay To name.
For companies whose Pay To name includes common words such as Incorporated or Company, it would be beneficial to create separate entries using different spellings of the common word (e.g., incorporated and inc., or company and co.). This also applies to individuals with nicknames (e.g., Nicholas and Nick, or Katelyn and Katie).
If database entries created already include the shortened version within the long spelling, a separate entry using the short spelling is unnecessary as a Pay To name using the short version would still flag a match with the entry.
For example, Pay To name Kate M would still flag a match with database entry Katelyn Member, and Pay To name ABC Co would still flag a match with database entry ABC Company.
