Fraud Prevention Services

Today’s technology has created many new avenues for fraud to be attempted against your accounts.  Fraud is costly and time consuming.  With our fraud prevention products, preventing fraud is quick and easy.  bankHometown has products that help protect you against both check fraud and electronics payments fraud.

• Check Positive Pay prevents unauthorized checks from posting to your account.

  • Each time you issue a check, you transmit that information (i.e. check number, dollar amount and payee name) to the bank.  We match each check presented for payment against that information.  If everything matches, the checks would be paid.  If a check does not match, it would reject and you would be able to decide whether to pay or return the check.

    Check Positive Pay is integrated with our eBusiness Solutions (Online Service) to provide single login access to positive pay protection. 

• ACH Positive Pay prevents unauthorized ACH transactions from posting to your account.

  • This service allows debits to post to your account from companies that you have authorized.  You provide us a list of the “authorized” companies.  As ACH debits post to your account, we match them against your authorized list.  If an ACH item does not match against this list, the item is rejected and you are notified. 

    ACH Positive Pay is integrated with our eBusiness Solutions (Online Service) to provide single login access to positive pay protection.

ACH Debit Block

• ACH Debit Block blocks all ACH debits to the account. No ACH transactions, regardless of the source, will be paid against the account.
  • If you do not want to have any electronic debits posted against your account, you would establish an ACH Debit Block service.  This service blocks each and every incoming ACH debit, without exception.  ACH debit blocks are often used with Money Market and Savings accounts.

Account Reconciliation

• Full Reconciliation

With Full Reconciliation, your company will upload a file containing check issues information and we match checks-issued with checks-paid.  Monthly reports are made available to you via eBusiness Solutions, our internet banking platform.  Reports include a paid and outstanding item report as well as exception reports for items like voids and deletes.  The report data includes:

• Check Number

This information can be sorted according to your preference.
