With current technological advancements, it is easier than ever for fraudsters, either independently or in organized groups, to alter checks and divert ACH payments to deceive innocent victims. Business customers are especially vulnerable because regulatory deadlines only provide 24 hours for fraudulent transactions to be returned after they clear a business account.
Our fraud protection services are designed to put your business in control. These services allow you to review questionable transactions immediately after they hit your account so you can identify fraudulent items and notify the bank to block them from clearing against your account.
With transparent loan options and easy-to-access checking and savings, you don't have to settle for your business. At First Dakota, we put our customers' needs first.
