Understanding the PaymentWorks Banner Messages

When you log into your PaymentWorks account, you may notice a banner message at the top of the screen. These in-app messages are designed to provide important updates, announcements, or alerts directly to Payers and Payees.


What Are Banner Messages?

Banner messages appear at the top of your screen immediately upon logging in. They serve as a quick and effective way for the PaymentWorks team to share key information.

  • Visibility: Messages will remain displayed until you dismiss them by clicking the “X” on the far-right corner of the banner.
  • Persistence: Once dismissed, a banner message will not reappear during your current session or in future logins.

Types of Banner Messages

Banner messages are categorized based on their purpose, with distinct colors and icons for easy identification:

  1. Informational Messages

    • Color: Blue
    • Icon: Bell
    • Purpose: Provides general updates or announcements (e.g., feature releases, system maintenance).
  2. Warnings

    • Color: Yellow
    • Icon: Exclamation mark inside a triangle
    • Purpose: Highlights situations that require your attention but are not critical (e.g., upcoming changes).
  3. Critical Alerts

    • Color: Red
    • Icon: Exclamation mark inside a circle
    • Purpose: Communicates urgent issues or outages impacting functionality.

Interactive Features of Banner Messages

At times, banner messages will include links directing you to:

  • Marketing Content: Learn more about PaymentWorks features or updates.
  • Knowledge Base Articles: Access detailed instructions or support materials.
  • Status Page Events: Stay informed about system availability or outages.

These links are designed to provide you with additional context or steps to take based on the banner’s message.


Additional Notes

  • Multiple Messages: If there are multiple messages, they will stack in order of posting, with the oldest message displayed at the top.
  • Action Required: Some messages may include clickable links for more details or specific actions.

The in-app banner is a valuable tool to keep you informed and aware of updates relevant to your PaymentWorks experience. Be sure to review these messages when they appear to stay up to date!
