Guard your business against costly fraud with Sauk Valley Bank’s automatic fraud detection service, PosPay Fraud Protection.

Why Choose PosPay Fraud Protection
Even in this age of technology, paper checks continue to be the most widely used method of payment fraud.

How PosPay Works
The PosPay Fraud Protection system compares the business’ authorized file to the transactions presented for payment by matching the account number, check number and dollar amount. All three of these components must match exactly. If one or more of these components does not match, the transaction is flagged and turned into what is called an exception. These exceptions need to then be approved for the payment to take place or denied, returning the check. This process protects businesses against fraud, losses and other liabilities.
Sauk Valley Bank reviews check and ACH transactions submitted to your account. If any of these transactions appear to be fraudulent, our system notifies you of a discrepancy and allows you to decide if they are to be paid or returned.
- Your business simply uploads a check register file with information about the authorized check and ACH transactions you’ve issued for that period.
- Our PosPay system compares the record you uploaded to the checks that have been presented for payment.
- If there are checks presented for payment that are not on your uploaded file, a list of exceptions containing these transactions is generated and you are then notified to review the exception list on our PosPay system.
- Through the PosPay system, you decide if an exception transaction is to be paid or returned.
