ACH Positive Pay

With our ACH Positive Pay service, you have the option to preauthorize companies to draft funds from your account using ACH debit transactions. It provides alerts for all other ACH transactions, allowing you to review and approve or decline payments for any potentially suspicious activity. This ensures greater control and oversight over your account, enhancing security and peace of mind.

Check Block

Worried about the increase in paper check fraud? Take action. Block it. To avoid checks being deposited into the account, Check Block minimizes the threat of check fraud by automatically declining and sending back paper-based transactions, allowing the checking account to solely process electronic transactions.

ACH Debit Block

This feature grants you the capability to block and return ACH debit transactions on specific accounts. It automatically sends back any unauthorized debits to the originating bank, effectively safeguarding your accounts from fraudulent activity.
