Why Fake Checks Slip Through Traditional Processes
Traditional check processing normally happens after the check enters the banking system. If the fraud is detected late, businesses often face losses that cannot be recovered. Fraudsters take advantage of small errors—changed dates, edited amounts, or copied check designs—to push fake checks into business accounts.
In many cases, the detection happens only after the transaction is completed. At that stage, reversing the damage becomes difficult. Positive Pay prevents this by moving fraud detection to the very beginning of the process.
Positive Pay: A Fast Defense Against Suspicious Checks
Positive Pay changes the entire flow of check verification. Instead of banks reviewing transactions after they clear, the system checks every detail before approval.
The process works in three simple steps:
1. Businesses upload their list of approved checks
OnlineCheckWriter.com – Powered by Zil Money helps organizations send a verified list of issued checks to their bank. This list includes check numbers, payee names, and amounts.
2. Banks compare incoming checks against the approved list
Each incoming check is matched line-by-line with the original records.
3. Suspicious checks are sent back for review
If even one detail does not match, the check is blocked immediately. The bank sends it back for review instead of processing it.
This quick “return for review” step is the core of Positive Pay’s fraud prevention. No suspicious check moves ahead without direct confirmation.
This ensures strong control at the gate, long before a fraudulent check can reach the account balance.
