Positive Pay

Introduction

Positive Pay is a feature available to our commercial customers that will help to minimize or eliminate check fraud to prevent losses, provide easier management of Voids and Stop-Payments, and simplify month-end checking account reconciliation. With Positive Pay, you submit an electronic file each day detailing business-issued checks. As each check is presented for payment, the Positive Pay system electronically compares it to the information in your file. If an item does not match the record you provide, it is flagged as an exception and referred back to you for a payment decision. ACH Blocks & Filters proactively monitors incoming ACH activity. Using this tool, every ACH transaction presented for payment is scrutinized. Suspicious transactions are presented for review. The service allows for firm restrictions on outgoing ACH payments, providing peace of mind that only authorized ACH transactions will be released.
