Positive Pay

Positive Pay is a powerful and secure fraud detection tool to help businesses prevent check fraud. This platform matches the account number, check number, and dollar amount of each check presented for payment against a list of checks previously authorized and issued by the company. All three components of the check must match exactly for it to be authorized. When a check is presented that does not have a “match” in the file, it becomes an “exception item” and is returned to the depositing bank. Positive Pay is a valuable detection solution that can help you guard against fraud. For more information about Positive Pay give us a call.
