Introducing Positive Pay, a fraud-prevention system offered to your business to protect against forged, altered, and counterfeit checks.
Check tampering remains a threat to businesses despite the popularity of electronic payments. The counterfeiting of checks is on the rise due to sophistication in color copying and publishing. Positive Pay allows you to protect your business from fraud threats by check.
How does it work?
- Business Customer submits check issued report through business online banking. (List of check numbers, dollar amount and account number of each check)
- Positive Pay verifies criteria when check is presented for payment.
- If criteria is met, a check is paid. An exception is created if Positive Pay finds mismatched data.
- An exceptions report is sent to customer for pay/no pay decision.
