• Positive Pay is a fraud-monitoring tool wherein you give your bank details for each check you write. The bank then verifies that the information you’ve provided matches the information on checks presented to it before it processes the payment. • By allowing the bank to monitor and verify any checks presented for payment, Positive Pay helps companies minimize exposure to fraud. It may incur a monthly or per-check fee. • If you don’t review a flagged item by the cutoff time, your bank will return the item to the issuer, which may cost you a returned item fee. • Reverse Positive Pay is another type of fraud-monitoring tool in which you set a payment threshold with your bank, which flags any checks over that amount.
