Check Cashing History

Related Topics

The Check Cashing History tab displays check-cashing activity on a member and helps eliminate fraud. This tab makes it easier to determine if a member has already cashed several checks today or in the past few days. It also allows you to accurately track the cash amount disbursed, even when a fee is charged. If a member has cashed “too many” checks as determined by the credit union, then tellers will know that they can refuse to cash the check for the member. Portico does not prevent the transaction; the teller makes the decision. Check cashing history records are retained and displayed for 200 days, then automatically purged from the history file.

To access the Check Cashing History tab, , under Member Services on the Portico Explorer Bar, select History/Reversals. The History tab appears on top. Locate the member using the search tool on the top menu bar. Select the down arrow to select the search method, then enter the search criteria. Select the green arrow or press ENTER to locate the member. On the History tab, select the Type of History down arrow and select Check Cashing History.
