More Information
How does Remote Deposit work?
Depositing your checks remotely is largely made possible by new "Check 21" legislation recently signed into the law. Check 21 gives us the opportunity to replace labor-intensive, paper-based check processes with quicker, safer, image-based handling and clearing services. The result will be faster deposits, more efficient collections, and tremendous convenience for you and your business.

Positive Pay
Positive Pay is an anti-fraud service. It protects companies against altered checks and counterfeit check fraud. With this service, businesses submit an electronic file to the bank detailing the checks they issue. As each check is presented for payment, the Positive Pay system electronically compares it to the information in their file. Any discrepancies are flagged and reported through our online cash management system, where they can see an image of the check and make an online "pay/no pay" decision.
ACH Filters
ACH Block/Filter—Protect your account from electronic fraud by utilizing ACH Block/Filters. This service provides an essential added layer of security towards safeguarding your assets by automatically blocking or filtering out unauthorized ACH transactions.
