Check Security Features

Image Checks is an active member of the American Mail Order Association (AMOCA).

AMOCA was formed to represent some of America's leading direct mail check companies.

AMOCA instituted Fraud Alert, a procedure to identify and prevent unauthorized orders of checks. The organization acts as a clearing house for suspected fraudulent check order requests. If one AMOCA member discovers a possible unauthorized order, the other members are notified within 24 hours to stop the check order from being processed.

Each member of AMOCA agrees to follow the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) high criteria for check printing, the same standards followed by all accepted financial institutions.

Checks under the AMOCA guarantee are printed with all of the same specifications required of any financial institution and therefore must be accepted by them in the course of daily banking.

Additional security measures on all our checks are:
The icon to the right of the word "Dollars", indicating to the Bank or Credit Union that the check contains security features that will help them detect a copy from the original document
The icon, indicating that micro-security print is used in the design. This is very small print that will break up if it is photocopied
A panel, on the check reverse, describing some of the security features incorporated into the check design
