Check Positive Pay
When a check is issued an "issue file" is created, or information such as check issue date, check number, and dollar amount are manually entered into Business Online Banking. When checks come in, they’re matched with the issue file. Checks that do not match are considered "exceptions" and the account holder must decide whether to pay or return the items.
Check Positive Pay with Payee Matching
As checks hit your account, we will also validate the payee name1 as part of the issue file. Checks that do not match the issue file are considered "exceptions" and the account holder must decide whether to pay or return the items.
ACH Positive Pay
Take control of your business finances and limit the ACH transactions debited from your accounts with ACH Positive Pay. Presented transactions that don’t meet your rules will be considered “exceptions” and questioned about payment. Rules can be created with the following criteria:
- Originating Company ID
- ACH SEC (standard entry class) code
- Dollar Amount
ACH Debit Block
All checks presented to your account will be listed as "exceptions" to review and decide whether to pay or return.
This service allows you to block all ACH debit transactions from posting to your accounts. Every incoming ACH debit transaction will be returned to the originator.
