As technology advances, counterfeiters can make a fake check look almost exactly like the real thing. Meanwhile, unauthorized automated payments from accounts have skyrocketed as ACH transactions increase. Combine the trends, and business accounts are more vulnerable than ever. Atlantic Union Bank can help protect you with 2 fraud-prevention services – Positive Pay and ACH Debit Block.
Positive Pay
Positive Pay helps combat check fraud.
- Every time your company sends out checks, you send us a file, listing those checks
- When someone requests payment for a check, Atlantic Union Bank checks the list to make sure it’s legitimate
- If there is a question or discrepancy, we flag it and come to you for a decision
ACH Positive Pay
ACH Positive Pay protects your business against unauthorized Automatic Clearing House (ACH) transactions.
- Specify which companies are authorized to make debits from your accounts
- Block all electronic drafts, or use a filtering service to block and return any that are not authorized
Check Debit Block
A fraud control solution, Check Debit Block protects businesses by restricting paper-based transactions from posting to the account. Check Debit Block should be added to an account that is intended to operate as an electronic-only account. In other words, checks will never be written off the account.
