Summary
- Positive Pay also includes verification of Bill Pay items as well as checks presented at any of our branches for payment.
- Check may be entered individually into Positive Pay.
- Each time a check is processed for payment Positive Pay will automatically compare the dollar amount and check number to the check register file, as well as the issue date to ensure a match before it posts to your account.
- If the checks presented do not match, we will notify you of the exception items and you can decide to pay or return.
- Debits to your account via ACH will be presented to you to determine payment or return as fraudulent.
- All exception items without a decision will be returned once the daily cut-off time of 11am is reached, this aids in protecting you from fraudulent items posting to your account.
