You can reduce your exposure to check fraud by controlling the checks that pay on your accounts. By monitoring check activity against your issue file, you can ensure every check presented has been authorized for payment. If a check is presented for payment and it does not match your issue file, the item will be sent for your review and you can decide to pay it or return it.
ACH Positive Pay gives you a timely, online review of incoming ACH transactions each day so you can return fraudulent ACH items within the 24 hour window allowed for businesses.

By masking your most sensitive banking information, a UPIC makes it safe to publish electronic ACH payment instructions. Since UPICs are restricted to credit payments, they also mitigate the risk of unauthorized debits.
