Security & Fraud Awareness Tips: Practice Safe Checks
- Write your checks securely. A few tips for writing secure checks: use permanent gel pens, avoid leaving blank spaces that criminals could fill in, and do not add unnecessary personal information to the memo line or anywhere else.
- Review account activity regularly. Monitor account activity on your Digital Banking platform as often as you can so it’s easy to spot when something is out of the ordinary.
- Use digital payments whenever possible. Digital payments are a fast, secure and convenient option. Use Meridian’s Digital Banking to schedule automatic transfers, pay others, or pay bills electronically.
For business banking customers, Meridian offers Positive Pay to prevent check or ACH fraud.
Upload a list of checks or ACH’s for matching to control unauthorized activity. If a payment presented doesn’t match what is on your list, you’ll decide if you want to pay or return it. If you’re interested in setting up Positive Pay for your business, fill out the form below to get started.
