Enrolling in Positive Pay will allow CNB to match checks, such as a company-issued payroll check, with those presented for payment by a business. As the checks are presented to the bank to be deposited or cashed, the bank compares the information it has on file with each check presented. If the information for any check does not match the file, CNB notifies its business customer.

Positive Pay also allows customers to filter ACH transactions for daily review as well. Placing filters based on the dollar amount and/or a company name will allow the customer to view ACH transactions that have posted to the account.
