We can only stop payment on ACH transactions (electronic payments using your account and routing numbers) that have cleared your account in the past at least one time. If the electronic payment has never cleared your account, please contact the merchant or business to request they cancel the payment on their end.

We are not able to stop any electronic payments paid through your GreenState bill pay.
