Business Security FAQs

How does check fraud work?

Check fraud occurs when someone uses, alters, forges or creates checks to withdraw money from a company’s bank account. Criminals can even steal an existing check, chemically remove the ink, leaving a signature and then rewrite the check to themselves for any amount.

How is Community Bank helping to protect my business from fraud?

Positive Pay is one key tool we provide to help keep your business accounts safe. When a payment is presented, Positive Pay matches its details to those you provided when the check was issued, giving you the control to pay or reject any items that don’t match your records.

We always recommend you complete a comprehensive security review annually. Use our free Business Security Review Checklist to guide you.

We also advise that you keep all contact information with us current, so we can reach you quickly if fraud is suspected.

Finally, be sure to regularly review your business account activity.
