About Positive Pay:

Positive pay is a fraud-prevention system offered by most commercial banks to companies to protect them against forged, altered and counterfeit checks.
When the beneficiary submits the cheque for encashment, the cheque details are compared with the details provided to the Bank through Positive Pay.
If the details match, the cheque is honoured. In case of mismatch in cheque details, the cheque is referred to you.
