Check fraud costs businesses millions of dollars annually — but we can help you catch issues before they become losses. Positive Pay flags any discrepancies so your team can approve or reject suspicious items before they clear.
Standard Positive Pay
Automated check verification compares check numbers and amounts against your issued check file each business day. Any mismatches trigger instant email alerts through Commerce Connections® for your review.
Payee Positive Pay
Enhanced features add payee verification to each check review. We match check number, amount, and payee name against your records, helping to identify altered checks that standard verification might miss.
Reverse Positive Pay
We send you images of all checks presented for payment each day. You review and approve legitimate items while rejecting any fraudulent ones to maintain control over each transaction.
