Positive Pay
USE POSITIVE PAY TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS FROM CHECK FRAUD
Use our Positive Pay service to reduce the risk of check fraud. This cash management tool detects fraudulent checks by matching them against the ones you present for payment. Any checks that seem suspicious to us will be held back and sent to you for verification.
With $1.2 million fraudulent checks entering the banking system each day, preventing theft through check fraud is one of the biggest concerns businesses have today. Our Positive Pay and Reverse Positive Pay services can help protect your business from losses arising from check fraud. Enroll right away!
We believe banking should be easy. Our Positive Pay services can be established on your existing First Bank of Berne checking accounts and you can continue to use your company's current check stock.
