Help stop check fraud.

Positive Pay is a fraud prevention tool that allows you to monitor items posting to your accounts. If an issued item does not match the record, then you can choose to pay or to return the item. You can think of Positive Pay as a security system for your checking account. You get the peace of mind knowing any check that clears your account was issued by you and only you.

Simply give us a list of checks that you wrote and Positive Pay compares it to the checks coming into your account. If anything doesn’t match, you’re in control of deciding to pay it or not. All you need to do is log into your account to view images of suspect checks posted on our secure website. Not only can you confirm each check you write, but you can also choose to pre-approve your ACH payments. Check Positive Pay and ACH Positive Pay work closely together to limit your exposure to possible fraud.
