How it works

Advanced protection

Check Positive Pay examines each check and reports irregularities directly to you. This service is available within Digital Banking and Commercial Advantage.
Check Positive Pay matches the check number, dollar amount and account number against an electronic file provided by your business that contains a list of issued checks.

We compare every check presented for payment against the cumulative electronic file.

Checks that don't match this list are presented within Digital Banking for review. You determine whether they should be paid or returned.
