Check Security

Security features on your checks include:

The lock icon to the right of the word "Dollars," indicating to the Bank or Credit Union that the check contains security features that will help them detect a COPY from the ORIGINAL document.

The MP icon, indicating that micro-security print is used in the design. This is very small print that will break up if it is photocopied.

A panel, on the check reverse, describing some of the security features incorporated into the check design.
