5 Ways to Protect Against Fraud

Accepting Payment

Positive Pay helps prevent fraud before it happens. Each morning, it scans your transactions to ensure your payables are paid to the right recipient, for the right amount.

Available with your Business Online Banking account, Positive Pay is a second set of eyes watching over your account.

When you’re writing checks, Positive Pay detects fraudulent checks right when they’re presented, so they can be stopped before they’re paid. It matches checks clearing your account to a “checks issued” file you present to the bank. When you initiate electronic ACH transactions, you’ll designate specific transactions that are allowed into the recipient’s account. Payments that don’t match your criteria are put on an exception list for you to approve or deny.

5 Ways to Protect Against Fraud

Rather than move funds between accounts manually, let Sweeps do it automatically.

Sweeps are a great way to handle daily reconciliation flows between lines of credit, checking accounts and savings accounts. They allow you to put a threshold in your account and then sweep the money into other accounts to stay at that same threshold.

Zero Balance Accounts

Easily track your business finances with a Zero Balance Account. A Zero Balance Account maintains a zero balance at the end of each day. It automatically transfers funds from your primary account to cover your daily payments.

When your business uses multiple accounts for operating transactions, payroll and other miscellaneous payables, a Zero Balance Account can give you better account insight and management.

Investment/Savings Sweep

Maximize your investments by automatically transferring balances above a determined amount into higher-yielding accounts, helping your business generate valuable, short-term investment income.

Line of Credit Sweep

Protect yourself against overdraft with a line of credit sweep. Your predetermined line of credit will automatically cover withdrawals that go over your account balance.
