Overview
Positive Pay® increases both the effectiveness and timeliness of fraudulent check detection over traditional systems, which rely almost exclusively on posted proof files to identify fraudulent checks.
With Positive Pay®, we can better monitor and detect unusual or unauthorized disbursement activity by comparing paid items against issue information to identify any discrepancies. As a business customer you can send us a file of each day’s issued checks. In return you receive a daily notification of exception items, either by fax or through your online business banking solution. This notification enables you to send handling instructions and import new issues notifying us of possible fraud.
As a business banking customer you will enjoy the capability to download a paid item file on a daily basis, as well as provide us with a daily issue file detailing outstanding items. This issue file helps control which checks are paid against their accounts, and guards against losses due to altered and counterfeit checks, as well as unauthorized items.
