How Does Positive Pay Work?
Check Positive Pay
- At the end of each business day, your company electronically submits an issued check file within Business Online.
- Each night after posting the incoming checks, Northwest Bank compares the checks against your issued check file.
- If a check is found that does not match the issued check information or has already been marked as "paid," it will be listed on an "exception report."
- The Bank will notify you via email that you have an exception item to review. Let us know if any of these items are fraudulent or inaccurate in a timely manner, and we will quickly correct or return the checks to the bank of first deposit.
ACH Positive Pay
- For ACH debits and credits, your business creates and manages an approved vendor list.
- If an ACH transaction received is not on the approved vendor list, Northwest Bank will notify you in the form of an email and it will be listed on the "exception report".
- Upon receipt of the email, simply login to ACH Positive Pay through Business Online to accept or reject the item.
- If accepted, you can then add that vendor to your approved vendor list.
