PositivePay is the leading method of check fraud prevention available today. The PositivePay process consists of a daily reconciling between a company’s issued checks and checks presented for payment at your bank, in order to identify potentially fraudulent checks.
Upon completion of a check run, a company prepares a “checks issued” data file (including check number, amount and date, as well as other bank and account information) and transmits this data to their bank. Voided checks and manual checks can also be included in this formatted checks issued file.
When checks are presented for payment against an account protected by Positive Pay, the check information is compared to the “checks issued” file. Checks presented for payment that fail to match with checks issued by the company are rejected. The bank then presents a list of “suspect checks” to the company for “pay/no pay” decisions. These “suspect checks” are resolved before the bank authorizes payment. The company may reject any checks it believes to be fraudulent.
