Accepting Checks

Always have your check cashing procedures clearly deﬁned. The following safety

precautions can help prevent check fraud:

• Ask for a picture ID before accepting checks.

• Always make sure the customer signs the check in front of you.

• Request that checks be written with blue or black ink.

• The check’s MICR line should appear slightly raised and not smudged.

• Don’t accept starter checks, or checks without a ﬁnancial institution logo and routing number.

• Be alert to suspicious or unusual activity when accepting checks.

• Two-party checks double the risk for check fraud.

Detecting a Fraudulent Customer

Here are a few tips to spot customers who may

be attempting to pass a fraudulent check.

• Makes random purchases without paying

attention to size, value or price.

• Presents you with a check taken from a

pocket instead of a checkbook or wallet.

• When asked for photo ID, claims to have

left it at home or in the car.

• Arrives at or about closing time and tries

to hurry you through the sale.

• Purchases a large item and refuses

delivery.

• Displays no interest in the warranty on

expensive items.

• Is overly slow and deliberate when

signing the check, perhaps because the

signature is being forged.

• Does not make eye contact with you.

• Is overtly friendly or overly rude in an

attempt to distract you.

Check Fraud Prevention

IMPORTANT!

If a breach of security is discovered, immediately contact local authorities,

Capitol Bank, and customers that may have had their information compromised.
