Positive pay records

Positive pay records are defined for a specific participant and account number. The transaction type and the company ID or name are required fields for the positive pay records. Specify any additional fields as required to narrow the scope of what the positive pay records accept. For example, if no additional information is entered, the positive pay record accepts any transactions of the selected transaction type for the account number and from the specified company.

If a positive pay record is not configured as recurring, only the first transaction matching the positive pay record is accepted. Any subsequent transactions that match the positive payment record are not accepted. If a positive pay record is configured as recurring, all transactions that match the positive pay record are accepted.

The following data fields may be provided when defining positive pay records:

transaction type - debit, credit, or any
company ID or name
amount - specified as a single value or as a range
effective date
