How it works
Check Positive Pay
Presented checks are compared against the check issue file you submit. Items that have already been paid, were not listed on the check issue file, or contain discrepancies from the check issue file are routed to your exception queue for review and decisioning. Automatic email alerts notify you that you have exceptions to review. The integrated check imaging makes determining the legitimacy of the check quick and easy.
ACH Positive Pay
Incoming ACH transactions are compared against the ACH filters you have established. Items that do not meet your filter requirements are routed to your exception queue for review and decisioning. Automatic email alerts notify you that you have exceptions to review. The integrated “create filter” option on the decision screen makes establishing ACH filters for new parties quick and easy.
