Frost Solution: Positive Pay
With Positive Pay, you're able to verify checks for payment and return fraudulent checks before they post to your account – not days or weeks later. This service enables you to:
- Gain control over which checks are paid and which are held for review
- Identify unauthorized transactions
- Access valid check information with our online portal, updated every 30 minutes
How Positive Pay Works
- You send a file with date, check number and dollar amount to Frost via FTP or Frost Connect.
- Frost compares checks presented for payment with the check number and dollar amount.
- If an item doesn't match check number and amount, it is marked as an "exception."
- Images of exceptions are shown each morning on Frost Connect.
Positive Pay with Payee Review
In addition to providing check-issue information for review, we also offer the opportunity to verify the payee name on checks presented for payment. It's simple to add this option to your existing Positive Pay service:
- Include the check payee name with your check-issue information
- Frost will verify the payee name on the check with the name on the issue file
- You view exceptions each morning and decide to pay or return the item
