How it works
- You provide First National a list of your check numbers, dollar amounts, and check dates (payee is optional).
- When someone tries to cash or deposit a check from your business, Positive Pay matches that check against your list.
- When checks match the information you provide, they are paid. Checks that don’t match are submitted for you to review online.
- You have until noon AKST to approve or return the check or the system will apply your default action.

Why check fraud protection?
Businesses in Alaska and nationwide are losing billions to check fraud each year (Advance Fraud Solutions, 2023). At First National, we are seeing our customers and those of other financial institutions facing more check fraud than ever before, which is part of a huge fraud increase nationally fueled by organized crime.
- August 2023, KTUU reports, "Feds warn of ‘surge’ in check washing scam"
- June 2023, ADN reports, "Cases of check fraud escalate dramatically, with Americans warned not to mail checks if possible"
