- Alteration/forgery accounts for over 30% of fraud cases.
EZShield Check Fraud Protection covers you against the following forms of check fraud:
Forged signatures* - Legitimate checks that are forged with the account holder's signature, as the payer, that results in a debit to your checking account.
Forged endorsements* - Legitimate check that is endorsed and cashed or deposited by someone other than the designated payee, based upon a fraudulent and false endorsement. EZShield Check Fraud Protection does not apply to a check that bears a legitimate original endorsement that is secondarily fraudulently endorsed.
Altered checks* - Legitimate checks that contain altered information such as the payee identification, check amount, or that are otherwise altered to benefit the party altering the check.
*Check Fraud Protection covers each box of checks and therefore is only available through your check printer. If you need assistance in determining how to get Check Fraud Protection, please contact us at info@ezshield.com.
