Help stop fraud in its tracks
It’s no secret: The number and complexity of fraud schemes perpetrated against business checking accounts is continuing to grow. Seventy-eight percent of finance professionals report that their organizations were targets of payments fraud. Seventy percent of organizations subject to payments fraud were victims of check fraud.[1]
Do you have measures in place to help combat this type of attack?

Fraud mitigation solutions from PNC
Harness the strength of four treasury management solutions — PINACLE Express, Positive Pay, ACH Debit Authorization and UPIC — to help you identify and thwart attempts to compromise your financial accounts.

And with single sign-on, you’ll save time and work more productively from your desktop, tablet or compatible mobile device.

Positive Pay Solutions
PNC offers two forms of Positive Pay, enabling you to choose the detection tool that’s right for your business:
With Positive Pay, you provide PNC with a transmission of your check-issue data and we’ll match it against the checks presented for payment. Any exception items are presented for your decision to pay, or return, each day. Check images are easily viewable within PINACLE Express.
With Reverse Positive Pay, PNC provides you with a daily file of checks presented for payment. You can then compare the check information (account number, check number, encoded amount, and paid date) against your check issuance database. Any exception items you identify can be reported to PNC for payment or return.
ACH Debit Authorization Solutions
PNC offers two forms of ACH Debit Authorization, enabling you to choose the detection tool that’s right for your business:
ACH Debit Block prevents ACH debits from posting to your account. You may also decide whether checks that are converted to ACH debits (POP, BOC, RCK, and ARC entries) should be automatically returned.
ACH Debit Authorization allows you to establish rules for filtering only those items you want to post (e.g., known trading partners), while returning any suspect items to the originator as unauthorized. You may establish rules up front, or wait until an ACH is presented for the first time to review and establish a new rule. Additionally, you may edit or delete rules as is necessary.
UPIC
Universal Payment Identification Code (UPIC) masks your PNC bank account information so you can offer your customers the option of sending ACH payments, while protecting your sensitive bank account information from being displayed on customer-facing billing material or internal documents.
Used in conjunction with a Universal Routing and Transit (URT) number, the UPIC can be used only to receive ACH credits to your account. Together, the UPIC and URT function as regular account and routing numbers, so no special handling or programming is required by you or your suppliers.
