What Is The Problem?
• Payee fraud is the largest remaining opportunity for check fraudsters
• Only the check payee name is altered
• As long as there is no change to the MICR line as verified by
traditional Positive Pay, no exception will be flagged
• Payee fraud works with any valid check, stolen and altered or copied
and modified
• Can be as simple as adding an “OR” payee

What Is T-Recs Payee Positive Pay?
• T-Recs Payee Positive Pay processing closes the payee alteration
fraud loophole
• Also referred to as “Payee Name Verification”
• Banks offer Payee Positive Pay as a valuable additional service to
their Positive Pay customers
• Corporations can also perform Payee Positive Pay on their own
checks if they have access to the images
• Creates a new check exception type – payee mismatch

How T-Recs Payee Positive Pay Works
• Like traditional Positive Pay, the process requires daily issue files to
be imported
• All check issue records must include a payee name value, consistent
with the printed check payee name
• Payee verification compares the payor’s issue data payee name value
to the check image payee name
• Works with any existing check stock – no special layout is required
• Processes handwritten as well as computer printed checks

Implementation
• Check “reading” technology is used to find and interpret (using OCR
and ICR) the payee name on the check image
• All necessary software is provided by Chesapeake as part of T-Recs
• Chesapeake implements an interface to the existing image archive to
retrieve check images on demand, as needed, for matching
• Identified payee mismatches are simply flagged as another T-Recs
exception type
• All subsequent research and processing is the same as any other
exception
