Positive Pay is a service offered by banks that allows you to electronically share your check register with a selected bank. The bank will then pay only checks listed in, and using the same specifications as, that register (amount, payee, check number, etc.), thereby reducing the likelihood of check fraud.

Accounting CS can automatically create Positive Pay files to send to your bank. Currently this feature is supported only for the firm impound banks.

Choose Actions > Process Positive Pay > Impound Bank Accounts.

Notes

  • you can filter the data that is displayed in the Positive Pay files grid by using the filter at the top of the screen.
  • Payroll, liability, and vendor checks that are printed or voided with a net pay amount from the impound bank account(s) marked for Positive Pay will be included in the Positive Pay file. Deleted checks will not be included in the file. If the Positive Pay file has already been created, Accounting CS will treat a deleted check as a voided check and make it available for inclusion in the file.
