PAYMENT CHEK

Check Acceptance Companies • Payment Processors

The PAYMENT CHEK service is an unparalleled check acceptance solution that provides online, real-time access to positive and negative account information as well as check-level status. Identifying items at the point-of-sale with a high likelihood of returning unpaid, this service helps answer the following questions:

  • Does the check writer’s account exist?
  • Is the account in a closed, NSF or other high-risk status?
  • Has a stop-payment been placed on an item?

For MICR line inquiries on physical and virtual items, users are notified of:

  • Open Valid Accounts
  • Closed Accounts
  • Select NSF
  • Accounts with Recent Returns
  • Stop Payments

The Competitive Difference

Information contributed to and shared by Early Warning Services is governed by a well-defined set of Operating Rules. These Rules are approved by financial institutions and help ensure the highest data integrity. The end result is a risk management service that offers the most current and accurate data to help combat fraud, increase sales, and close the gap in risk exposure.
