1What it is and why
| What it is | A periodic job that generates positive pay files for several bank accounts and legal entities at once. |
|---|---|
| What you do here | Used to send the bank an electronic list of issued checks so it can help prevent check fraud. |
| Example | For example, when a check is presented, the bank compares it with the list: a match is cleared, and a check that doesn't match is held for review. |
