What is EZShield Check Fraud Protection?
EZShield Check Fraud Protection is a service designed to help individuals and businesses defend against one of the most common forms of financial crime—check fraud. Even in today’s digital world, checks remain a target for criminals because they contain sensitive personal and banking information. When fraud happens, it can lead to delayed access to funds, identity theft, and costly financial loss.
EZShield’s program not only helps cover your immediate financial risk but also provides ongoing support to protect and restore your identity.
