High Security Checks for Fraud Protection

High security checks include built-in anti-fraud features designed to help deter copying, alteration, and counterfeiting—giving you extra confidence every time you write a check. They're a smart choice for anyone concerned about mailbox theft and check fraud. Choose from our high security designs to add another layer of protection to your everyday payments.

How Check Fraud Happens

  • Alteration ("check washing"): thieves use chemicals/solvents to remove ink and change the payee or dollar amount.
  • Counterfeiting/copying: checks are scanned, copied, or reprinted to create convincing duplicates.
  • Forged signatures: someone signs your name on a stolen check or creates a look-alike signature to cash it.

How High Security Features Help

Hologram foil bar + heat-reactive ink: adds instant, visible proof a check is authentic and helps expose copying or tampering. Microprint + security screen: tiny text and background patterns that become distorted or unreadable when scanned or copied. VOID/pantograph patterns + security weave: hidden "VOID" messages and embedded line patterns that appear on copies and make alterations easier to detect.
