How it works

We can help you reduce the risk of check fraud with Positive Pay. If your business writes several checks a month, especially for payroll, this electronic reconciliation process can help reduce fraud on your account. We match your issued check records with the checks that are coming in for payment and any exception items are reported for your review. You are required to review and approve exception items daily through Online Banking.

 

Implementing an ACH debit block is an effective measure to safeguard your business checking account against unauthorized electronic debit transactions. Simply furnish Lake Elmo Bank with a list containing authorized company names and their company IDs. Any electronic ACH debit not listed as authorized will be automatically returned as unauthorized if it attempts to post to your account.
