Prevention
The Check Enforcement Program puts a significant emphasis on preventing bad checks. The first line of defense against bad checks is the merchant and the person who accepts the checks
The program provides information for merchants to help them identify and avoid bad checks in the first place.
These elements are part of the merchant’s Dishonored Check Protection Kit, available - at no cost - when you register with the Check Enforcement Program.
