What is Positive Pay System?
Positive pay system is a kind of fraud detection tool. Under this system, when anyone issues a cheque, he will have to give full details to his bank. In this, the issuer of the cheque will have to electronically give the date of the cheque, beneficiary name, account number, total amount and other necessary information to the bank through SMS, internet banking, ATM or mobile banking. With this system, while the payment by cheque will be safe, the clearance will also take less time. The physical cheque issued in this does not have to move from one place to another. It is a very easy and safe process.
How does PPS work?
Explain that the cheque issuer can provide the necessary details through electronic means like SMS, mobile app, internet banking or ATM. Thereafter, these details will be cross-checked before cheque payment. If any discrepancy is found in it, the bank will reject the check.
