Businesses can add Positive Pay service to help reduce check and ACH fraud.

Business fraud is a serious issue that can have devastating effects on business owners and their employees. In recent years, there has been an increase in fraud, especially when it comes to businesses and checks. Fraudsters are getting more aggressive, and they have taken to stealing mail from the USPS to capture checks and ACH information from businesses. Fortunately, there are precautions you can take to help protect your business against these potential threats. Beyond the basics (keeping important documents secure, regular employee education, etc.), there are services that can help you protect against the fraud risk surrounding check and ACH payments.

With Check and ACH Positive Pay from Central Bank, we can help you catch fraudulent attempts before they impact your account.

What Is Positive Pay?

We offer two types of Positive Pay – Check Positive Pay and ACH Positive Pay. Check Positive Pay is a fraud prevention tool that helps businesses protect themselves from check fraud using a secure online system to match the details of each check issued against the company’s checks as they are presented to the bank for payment. Exceptions are presented online for review and a Pay/Return decision is required from your company.

ACH Positive Pay is a fraud prevention tool that helps businesses identify valid ACH partners and entries with blocks and/or filters.
