Special Interest Report
Check Security Features and Positive Pay are Still the Strongest Methods for Preventing Check Fraud in a Check 21 Truncated Environment

With Check 21 legislation set to take effect in October, concerns have been raised that an image-based environment will open new avenues for un-prosecutable check fraud.  Banks and industry groups are on a quest for an image-survivable check security feature that can be used to detect fraud on scanned check images.  But as the realities of Check 21 unfold, the best defense to protect banks and their customers from check fraud remain those methods that allow for detection of fraud at the time checks are presented for payment, such as check stock security features and positive pay.
