What is Positive Pay? Positive Pay is a fraud prevention tool used by banks to protect businesses from check fraud. It involves a process where a company provides its bank with a list of issued checks, including check numbers, amounts, and payees. When a check is presented for payment, the bank compares the check details with the provided list. If the information matches, the check is paid; if it doesn't, the bank flags the check for review or rejection.
