If you write checks, this is another line of defense in avoiding fraud. CNB utilizes software called FraudGuard to review all CNB checks processed through our bank, building a history of check stock, signatures and check sequence each time a check comes through.
How FraudGuard works:
- 1. It closely examines the signature on each check to see if it looks similar to other signatures that have been cleared through our system to verify it's a legitimate signer on that account.
- 2. It closely looks at all printed fields on the face of the check to make sure their placement and size match the legitimate check for each account.
