Challenge
Bank of Ann Arbor had outgrown its previous Positive Pay solution
An early adoption of Positive Pay, BOAA created a manual, in-house version in the early 2000s and shifted to its core provider's solution in 2011. In 2019, BOAA had outgrown that solution and ultimately moved forward with Q2 Centrix ETMS as its new Positive Pay partner.
Solution
Education fosters increased adoption and enrollment
After experiences with three different Positive Pay solutions, BOAA is pleased with the ease of use, dedicated service and innovation behind Centrix ETMS. The combination of Q2's innovative technology and BOAA's proactive customer education, including monthly fraud-mitigation seminars, has helped BOAA drive adoption and save customers from significant losses.
