Prevent Check Fraud With Our Positive Pay Service
Awareness, internal processes, and treasury management services are some of the best lines of defense against check fraud for every business.
Check fraud is one of the most common schemes affecting businesses. Fraudsters use counterfeit checks, stolen check stock, altered checks, forged signatures, fraudulent endorsements, and other tactics to target business accounts. Check fraud can harm your business by causing cash flow problems, burdensome investigations, and even unreimbursed financial losses.
