Fraud Management Tools

ACH Positive Pay

The ACH positive pay helps prevent fraud associated with electronic payments. The product allows you to review all incoming debits within business digital banking before they clear for deposit. With custom filters, you can choose to block suspicious ACH debits until you have a chance to authorize them.  

Help prevent unauthorized ACH transactions! As the volume and speed of ACH transactions for business payments increases, so does the potential for ACH fraud. To mitigate fraudulent activity, businesses of all sizes should make ACH positive pay and account monitoring an integral part of their everyday routine.

Additionally, when there is an unauthorized ACH, businesses must notify their financial institution within the time frame established by NACHA, the electronic payment association. Their rules stipulate that businesses have only 24 hours to dispute a fraudulent ACH debit through their financial institution. Failure to initiate a dispute within the 24-hour window shifts liability for fraud losses to the business account holder.

Additional benefits and features:

  • Easily able to accept or reject ACH items before they post to your account.
  • Monitor debit, credit, or both types of transactions in real-time.
  • Customize settings to accept or reject ACH transactions by default.
  • Allows multi-user access and dual control and is integrated with digital banking for businesses.

ACH debit Block is also available. 

Check Positive Pay

Positive pay is an automated process used to deter check fraud. The product allows you to match the checks issued with those it presents for payment. Any suspect check is returned to you for examination through business digital banking. The system acts as a form of insurance for a company against forged, altered and counterfeit checks. Reverse positive pay is also available.

Digital Banking

Payable & Receivable Management Tools

ACH Origination

 

A robust service with multiple applications to simplify payments and collections via electronic service. As the banking industry moves from checks to electronic money movement, ACH helps mitigate fraud by eliminating paper checks and reducing account compromise risk. ACH origination can be used to:

  • Facilitate "in-house" payroll distribution (net amount) to employee accounts.
  • Electronic payment alternative to checks – pay vendors with a click of a button, eliminating physical checks and processing costs.
  • Electronic collections solution – collect funds electronically from your customers to expedite receivable processing and save time.
  • Inter-bank transfers – utilize ACH to move funds to and from your CCU business account and your business accounts at other financial institutions 

Business Bill Pay

Pay bills easily and efficiently.

Remote Deposit Capture

Remote deposit capture allows you to scan checks for deposit at your office location. Checks are submitted for deposit electronically to CCU, eliminating the need to travel to a branch location. The monthly charge for this service is $35.00 with an owned scanner.* There are unlimited deposits and no per-item fees.

Key benefits for your business:

  • Simple setup and installation
  • Greater convenience and time savings for employees
  • Cost savings through automation and fewer trips to the branch
  • Improved cash flow
