    FAQs

    Q1: What is Positive Pay?

    Positive Pay is a fraud prevention service offered by banks to help businesses safeguard their accounts against unauthorized or altered checks. When a company issues a batch of checks, they submit a list of these checks (including check number, date, and amount) to the bank. The bank then verifies incoming checks against this list, flagging any discrepancies for review.

    Q2: How does Positive Pay work?

    When a check is presented for payment, the bank compares the information on the check (such as check number, date, and amount) with the information provided by the account holder through Positive Pay. If the details match, the check is cleared for payment. If there are discrepancies, the bank contacts the account holder for further instructions before processing the payment.

    Q3: What are the benefits of using Positive Pay?

    Positive Pay offers several benefits, including: Fraud Prevention: It helps prevent unauthorized or altered checks from being paid, reducing the risk of financial loss due to fraud.

    Yes, Positive Pay is typically offered to business account holders, especially those who issue a large number of checks. It may not be available for personal checking accounts.
