Features of the Fortress Checking Account
CYBERSECURITY TRAINING SOFTWARE
Fortress Checking Account holders gain an additional layer of protection with Beauceron Security, a powerful tool that transforms employees into active defenders against phishing and cyber threats. By providing personalized risk scores and tailored training, Beauceron equips teams with the knowledge and confidence to identify and report suspicious activity quickly, reducing the risk of cyberattacks. Businesses benefit from measurable results, including a 99% increase in employees reporting threats and an 85% reduction in engagement with malicious emails. With its ease of implementation and automated processes, Beauceron Security is an essential feature for organizations prioritizing cybersecurity and operational efficiency.
POSITIVE PAY
Account holders also gain enhanced security with Positive Pay, a powerful fraud prevention tool that safeguards businesses against unauthorized transactions. Sunwest Bank’s Positive Pay services monitor both check and electronic (ACH) payments, ensuring only authorized transactions are processed while flagging any discrepancies for review. By combining Check Positive Pay and ACH Positive Pay, businesses can protect their cash flow, maintain financial integrity, and minimize the risk of operational disruptions caused by fraud. With proactive alerts and customizable controls, Positive Pay provides peace of mind, making it an essential feature for businesses prioritizing advanced account security.
