Yes. A Pre-note transaction may be submitted as a test. A Pre-note is a zero dollar transaction with unique transaction codes. Its intention is to verify both the transit routing and account number of a transaction. If either is incorrect, you'll be notified by a Return Resolution Report. It's recommended that you initiate a Pre-note transaction 3 days in advance of a live dollar transaction for first-time accounts.
