Cheque Fraud Protection

• Shred cancelled cheques and old statements, or store under the same security as your un-issued cheques.
  
  
• Reconcile your bank statement daily or through online banking.
  
  
• Subscribe to products that will expedite your cheque reconciliation process, like Positive Pay, Payee Match or Reverse Positive Pay products.
  
  
• Ensure your cheque order is complete and there are no missing cheques. Report missing cheques to your bank/cheque supplier immediately.
  
  
• Don't leave blank spaces on the payee and amount lines.
  
  
• Use dark ink that can't be easily erased or covered over.
  
  
• Have different accounts for different functions, for example, one for payroll, one for accounts payable, cheque issuance etc. for easier reconciliation.
