  • North American based Certified Resolution Specialists
  • End2End Defense® 32-step restoration process

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

The Service applies to personal or business checks that have been affected by forged signatures, forged endorsements and/or alteration. Checks, like other forms of payment, are subject to theft, fraud, misuse and unintended exposure of personal data. Independent studies continue to show check fraud is one of the most prevalent forms of fraud impacting consumers and businesses. Because checks draw directly from the funds of the payee (and not on a credit line, for example), the urgency of providing check fraud related services is more acute. As financial institutions require time to investigate theft and fraud, the EZShield Check Fraud Protection Program can quickly assist the affected customer, providing great value in a time of need.

Advanced Fund Services

Advances funds to customer for losses that would later be credited to the customer's account by his/her bank or financial institution. Funds up to a maximum of $25,000 will be advanced for all checks to which the service applies and within 72 hours of filing a criminal complaint and submitting all necessary documents.

Education and Preventive Measures

Either through Live Fraud Feed from partner or FightingIdentityCrimes.com.

In addition to advising customers on the best procedures to help prevent fraud or to respond to a fraud event, a resolution specialist can also act on behalf of customers by obtaining an executed limited power of attorney form.

Check Replacement

The resolution specialist works with both the customer's applicable bank or financial institution and the check printer, allowing the customer to quickly resume normal financial transactions.

Backed by End2End Defense®

Our 32-point checklist is designed to isolate and assist with restoration from a lost/stolen wallet or fraud event. It is also designed to help the customer take necessary steps to help prevent fraud from occurring again. Often times, fraud is an isolated incident. However in many cases, the fraudulent event is a symptom of a much larger problem. Thus, EZShield will work with the customer to verify that they are not at greater risk of additional fraud. When EZShield determines that the circumstances of the event has put the customer's identity at a continued risk for further fraud, EZShield will deploy certain preventative and complimentary services to help mitigate such risks.
