Can help reduce losses and legal fees

Once your company is set up with our Positive Pay service, the process of rooting out fraudulent checks is simple.

  • Upload a file that includes information on all the checks your organization has issued
  • HSBC systematically compares the check details against your issuance file to detect potential alterations
  • We notify you of any discrepancies – posting a summary report along with check images via HSBCnet1
  • View images online and make 'pay' or 'no pay' decisions
Another layer of protection

Alterations to the payee line have become an increasing concern in the battle against check fraud. Positive Pay can give your organization an even higher level of security with the added measure of matching the payee name against your check issuance file, to help stop fraud attempts.

Resolve issues faster

With our Self-Service tool on HSBCnet1 you can eliminate the need to call customer service for routine maintenance requests, managing certain tasks on your own including:

  • Adding a 'Check Issue'
  • Making an inquiry about the status of a check
  • Issuing a 'Check Void'
