Fraud Prevention

Let Us Help Protect Your Small Business

Our Fraud Prevention Services help you safeguard your business by reducing your exposure to check and ACH debit fraud.

Check Positive Pay™

Protect your small business against fraudulent checks with our Check Positive Pay™ service.

Checks presented for payment are compared against information that you provide us through several easy uploads. If we receive a check that does not match what you’ve told us you’ve issued, we provide an exception report and give you the control to decide whether to pay or return the check.

Here are a few details about this system:

  • Integrated into MSB Business Online
  • This service allows you to be protected from the liability of fraudulent funds leaving your account
  • Fully integrated check fraud prevention service
  • System features item inquiry, item maintenance, items review and full reporting capabilities

ACH Filter and Block

With automated clearing house (ACH) filters and blocks, you control what electronic transactions can post to your accounts.

You tell us who you’ve authorized to send electronic transactions to your accounts—all other transactions will be suspended, and you will be contacted to make the decision to allow those transactions to post or be returned.

  • ACH Filter sets criteria to authorize some ACH debits and/or credits to post to your account while excluding others.
  • ACH Block Service stops ACH debits, credits or both kinds of transactions from posting to your account.
