We are back with another edition of ‘A Cash Management Minute’.

Today’s featured product is Positive Pay.

Check fraud is nothing new, but with our Positive Pay service customers can be proactive in catching fraudulent checks being presented against their account.  The time, savings and effort dealing with fraudulent checks makes having Positive Pay a no brainer.

What is Positive Pay?  In its simplest form, the business customer uploads a check issue file into Cash Management Online.  When a check is presented for payment the account number, check number, dollar amount and payee are compared against the authorized checks from the check issue file.  If the item matches the check is paid.  If the check does not match the customer receives an email alert that there is an exception for review.  The customer makes a pay or return decision on the item in question.

Just because you have Positive Pay doesn’t mean you need to be tied to the office.  Download our Mobile Banking app and you can approve the decision of exception items and approve new issue files imported into Cash Management Online.

Our app can be downloaded and used right away.  Just search for Empire National Bank either in the App Store on your iPhone or Google Play on your Android device.  Download Empire NB Cash Mgmt app.

Just give us a call and we can help your customer get signed up today.

Please call E-Banking at Ext 6000, or stop by and have a conversation with us.  We will even come talk to your branch/department about what we have to offer. We aren’t just online banking!
