When funding approved applications, users are able to fund accounts via Check, Credit Card, ACH Transfer, or Internal Transfer.
Users are able to complete the funding of an application by performing the following actions:
The generation of new loan account numbers and suffixes can be an automated process if the core supports account number auto-generation.
This process is enabled by the Host supports account number auto-generation parameter within the System tab in the Origination page in System Management. For more information, please see the applicable Core Connector Guide.
User-defined Account Product screens can be created to allow users to update account numbers and fund approved applications. While account numbers can be generated by clicking within the Application Toolbar and selecting Change Account/Loan Number, applications must be funded by navigating to an Account Product screen that contains the Funding panel.
This topic provides the following information to assist users in funding an application:
Depending on the configuration of the Workflow Model, an itemized list of the account products added to an application may appear under different Workflow categories within the Application Navigator.
![]() |
The Account Products system screen must be assigned to a workflow category in order for the list of account products to appear within the application workflow. For more information, please see the Account Products topic within the Administrator guide. |
Clicking a product name opens the Account Product screen assigned by the system administrator. System administrators can configure these user-defined screens to include different fields and panels that display and capture information for the account.
If the screen assigned to the account product is configured to include the Account Product Funding panel, users are able to capture funding information for an account directly within the Account Product screen.
![]() |
Whether or not funding for an account product is required is determined by the value entered in the Amount field. Funding is required for any account product that has a value greater than 0 in the Amount field. If there is a minimum amount required to fund the account product, system administrators can dictate this value through business rules. |
![]() |
For more information on account products in an application, please see the Account Products topic within this guide. |

The Account Product Funding panel can be added to an Account Product or Application type screen in System Management > Origination > Screens. |
The Account Product Funding Panel provides users with the ability to identify a funding type for the new account product(s), and capture the information necessary to transfer funds into the new account(s) at time of disbursement. This panel groups data by funding record type, and displays a row under each grouping for the account product(s) being funded by the funding type. For example, in the below image, the panel grid includes two funding record types; one for a Check, which is being used to fund a Premium Checking account, and one for an Internal Transfer to fund a Premium Savings account.
Each column within the panel grid displays the following information for each funding record:
Column | Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Type |
Displays the type of funding selected, in addition to a specific identifier for the funding type, such as a check number. Reference the table below for an overview of the available funding types for an account product, and the identifier that displays in the Type column for each funding type:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Account Product |
Displays the name of the account product being funded with the transaction, as well as the account number for the account product, if one has been generated.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Status |
Displays the status of the account’s funding. One of the following statuses may appear within this column:
Identifies that account funding has not yet occurred and the funding record is awaiting transfer. A status of Pending displays after a funding record is added and prior to the transfer of funds at time of disbursement.
Identifies that account funding has occurred and the funds were transferred successfully at time of disbursement.
Identifies that a failure occurred while trying to fund the account at time of disbursement. If a failure occurs, a message is received to indicate which transaction failed and the reason for the failure.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Amount | Displays the amount of funds being transferred into the account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Response Message |
Displays a response message, such as a confirmation code returned by a connector.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Total | Displays the total amount of funding to occur for the funding type at time of disbursement. This amount reflects the sum of each funding record for the type that is added to the application. |
In addition to the total for each funding type that is displayed in the panel grid, a Total field is also displayed below the grid for each account product on the application. Each Total field identifies the total amount of funding to occur for the specified account product. For example, if funding transactions are added for a Premium Checking and a Premium Savings, two Total fields appear in the bottom of the panel: Total Premium Checking and Total Premium Savings, as shown in the above image.
The buttons in the Account Product Funding panel provide the ability to perform the following actions:

If the connector being used to support ACH transactions is inactive, the ACH Transfer option appears as an available funding option; however, the account product cannot be successfully funded without the connector enabled. For more information, please see the applicable connector guide. |
Enter information within the following fields for an ACH Transfer:
Field | Description | ||||||

Send GL Voucher |
Select the check box to create a GL Voucher funding record in the core after the ACH Transfer funding record transmits to the SWBC Payments interface successfully.
Reference the following example for an overview of how this functionality can be used by a financial institution:
John Doe opens a savings account at ABC Financial, which requires a minimum balance of $10.00. John decides to fund the savings account with $500.00, using an ACH Transfer from his checking account at a different institution. Since ABC Financial uses the SWBC Payments -Origination connector to process ACH transactions, the funding information for the account product is sent to the SWBC Payments interface during the disbursement process. When an account is opened in the core, the nighttime process takes place, and the online banking is set up for that account. In order for John's account to be considered open in the core, the $10.00 minimum balance requirement must be met. Since the funding information for the account product does not get processed and sent to the core from the SWBC Payments interface, Jane, a representative at ABC Financial, selects the Send GL Voucher check box when entering the funding information for John's savings account to fund the minimum balance for the account product from a GL. During disbursement, a rule authored by the system administrator is executed to create the GL Voucher funding record for the account product in the core.
This allows the nighttime process to run in the core since the account is open and funded with the minimum balance. Once the information from SWBC Payments gets processed to the core, the GL is credited back the $10.00 that was funded to the account product.
