Fraud isn’t just a big-business problem—it’s a growing threat to businesses of every size. Whether you issue checks, process ACH payments, or manage multiple transactions daily, protecting your accounts should be a top priority.
That’s where Positive Pay comes in.
What Is Positive Pay?
Positive Pay is a powerful fraud prevention tool designed to help you detect and stop unauthorized transactions before they impact your business.
Here’s how it works:
- You provide a list of checks you’ve issued from your account
- When a check is presented for payment, it’s compared against your list
- If something doesn’t match, you’re alerted and can decide whether to approve or decline the transaction
This simple process adds a critical layer of protection—giving you control over what clears your account.
Stop Fraud Before It Happens
Check fraud continues to rise, and even one fraudulent transaction can disrupt your cash flow. With Positive Pay, you don’t have to wait until after the fact to take action.
Instead, you can:
- Receive alerts for suspicious or mismatched checks
- Review exceptions quickly and easily
- Approve or decline items before they post
If a questionable check is presented in person, your bank may even contact you directly for verification—adding another level of protection.
Go Beyond Checks: Protect ACH Transactions Too
Fraud isn’t limited to paper checks. Unauthorized electronic transactions can be just as damaging.
That’s why Chambers Bank pairs Positive Pay with ACH Filters and Blocks, allowing you to:
- Set rules by company name or dollar amount
- Approve transactions in advance or in real time
- Block unauthorized ACH activity altogether
This means you’re protected on both sides—paper and digital.
Built for the Way Your Business Operates
No two businesses are the same, and your fraud protection shouldn’t be either.
With Positive Pay, you can customize controls based on how your business runs:
- Tailor rules to your vendors and payment patterns
- Monitor transactions without slowing down operations
- Maintain visibility across your accounts
It’s security that works with you—not against you.
Why It Matters for Your Bottom Line
Fraud doesn’t just cost money—it costs time, trust, and momentum.
Positive Pay helps you:
- Avoid financial losses
- Reduce time spent resolving disputes
- Keep your cash flow predictable
- Gain peace of mind knowing you’re protected
And because it’s part of a broader Treasury Management suite, it integrates seamlessly into your daily banking operations.
