Positive Pay definition

Positive Pay means a service in which Bank compares the check serial number and exact dollar amount of checks issued by Customer against checks presented to Bank on a daily basis, reports to Customer any discrepancies relative to Customer’s acceptance criteria, and provides Customer an Exception Report for review and a mechanism for accepting or rejecting final payment of the check. All Positive Pay services include an automatic “teller line interface” which identifies potentially fraudulent items throughout the Bank’s branch network. Check Issue Files are updated hourly to the Bank’s Teller system. Checks presented at the window for encashment are matched to the information in Customer’s Check Issue File. If the information doesn’t match, the teller will refuse to cash the item and refer the presenter back to the issuer.
