[Chase Paymentech] What is check verification?

Check verification is a risk management service that verifies the authenticity of each check and/or its presenter.
eCheck transactions are verified through a third-party database that gathers information from major retailers and banks about bad checks and bank accounts that are in a negative status due to returns for insufficient funds or that have been closed.
While check verification service is not required, this service does help keep your business losses to a minimum.
