WHAT IS POSITIVE PAY?
Positive Pay is a feature that can be enabled for your company that can help you monitor your account for unauthorized checks and/or ACH transactions.

You can then decide whether to pay or return the items that are on your exception list. The deadline to make decisions on exceptions is 10 AM CST.
We have recently implemented Payee Match as part of our Check Positive Pay offering. Payee Match compares the payee on the check image against the payee name that is listed on the issued check file. Enabling payee match offers our customers an additional layer of protection by validating the payee in addition to the check number and check amount.
