Secure Check Writing Software |
| SAFEChecks partners with a software company that specializes in laser check writing systems. A recent security advancement is a state-of-the-art encrypted “secure seal” barcode that is laser printed on the face of a check. The barcode is created using a print driver, and each barcode is unique to that check. The barcode is the newest weapon in the fight against check fraud. It contains all the critical information found on a check, including payee name, dollar amount, check number, routing and account number, and issue date. It is like on-board Positive Pay, without needing to transmit the check data to the bank. (Bank must have the barcode reading software.) |
 |
| The barcode data is “read” and compared with the printed information on the check using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. If the information on the check does not match the barcode, the check will be rejected. The barcode is “image survivable” and retains its fraud prevention effectiveness in a Check 21 imaging environment. The barcode is created and applied using a simple printer driver. |

As illustrated above, the ChequeGuard print driver can include the barcode, a Secure Name Font to prevent added payee names, and a Secure Number Font to prevent altered dollar amounts.
