Our Positive Pay solution is a proactive way to protect you and your business against ACH or check fraud. If you sign up for this tool, you or someone within your company can allow or “disallow” automated credits and/or debits from your account. This way, your business has an additional layer of protection, and helps reduce the risk of financial loss.
ACH Positive Pay
ACH Positive Pay is a proactive tool to deter ACH fraud. It gives your business the option to allow or disallow automated credits and/or debits to your account. You can also set criteria for specific merchants.
Any ACH item that meets the criteria you have set is considered to be potentially fraudulent and is sent to you for examination. You can decide to pay or return the item. ACH Positive Pay can effectively help your business from becoming a victim of ACH fraud.
Benefits:
- Don’t wait for the monthly statements to find out whether fraud has occurred
- Detect suspicious ACH activity daily
- Reduce the risk of financial loss
- Safeguard the company’s reputation
How it Works:
- Customer sets the criteria for ACH items
- Allow/Disallow ACH credits and/or debits
- Allow/Disallow ACH items from a specific merchant(s)
- When an item attempts to post to the account that meets the criteria the customer has set for the account an Exception Report is generated.
- The bank (system) generates the Exception Report and it is sent to the customer after night processing
- The customer decides to pay or return each ACH item through Business Online the next day
Check Positive Pay
Check Positive Pay is a proactive tool to deter check fraud. It is used to match the checks a company issues with those posting for payment. Once an item is identified the company can decide to pay or return the item.
