Opting out?
What you need to know
If you are considering opting out of Positive Pay check fraud and ACH fraud prevention services, you need to understand what this means. In short, when you decline coverage you become liable for fraudulent transactions.
Your Security Is Our Priority
We want your account to be as secure as possible.
That’s why we offer fraud prevention services at no cost to you.
Check Fraud Prevention
Positive pay helps us automatically identify unauthorized or fraudulent check activity. We can flag suspicious checks and bring them to your attention.
- Avoid the hassle that arises when forged or altered checks clear your account
- You’re notified when suspicious checks or mismatches occur
ACH Fraud reporting
Fraudsters can use Automated Clearing House (ACH) systems to try and steal funds from unsuspecting accounts. Prevention services allow us to compare electronic account transactions against previously authorized payments and suspend unmatched items.
- Prevent unauthorized withdrawals
- Avoid time-consuming dispute process
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU OPT OUT
We do not recommend opting out of this free service. However, if you decline to use our fraud prevention solutions, you assume the risk for fraudulent check and ACH transactions.
This means that you are liable for lost funds and/or costs that you incur as a result of fraudulent activity.
We highly encourage you to utilize these free services.
