Trust City Bank to Help You Protect Your Business.

Security must always be a top concern for your business. City Bank allows you to reduce the risk of check fraud and gain extra peace of mind with our Positive Pay service. Positive Pay is an automated check matching process associated with our online Cash Management service.

Hi-Tech Check Security and Authentication

Our state-of-the-art Positive Pay authentication resource ensures each check meets a series of parameters to prevent fraudulent or unauthorized payments. By comparing paid items against your previously authorized issue information, Positive Pay detects unauthorized or unusual disbursement activity and settles any discrepancies. When suspicious activity is detected, City Bank will stop payment on the check and notify you. You make the decision to pay or not pay stopped items.
