Payment items:
Cheques: Paper-based payment items.
Image: Paper-based items exchanged electronically as images. The types of paper-based items that may be exchanged through this stream include: cheques, travellers' cheques, gift certificates and money orders.
Image Return: Items returned electronically using an image (where provided for by Payments Canada rules).
Unqualified: These are paper payment items valued at less than $50,000 which are not encoded with Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR). These include unencoded items such as counter cheques, as well as mutilated items which cannot be processed in an automated fashion.
Computer Rejects: These are MICR-encoded paper items with individual values of less than $50,000 rejected when passing through reader/sorters. A MICR encoded cheque will be rejected, for example, if there is a flaw or tear in the MICR line, or a pen stroke through it.

AFT Credits: Direct deposit items most commonly used for payroll.
