Definitions of Fraud
Forged Signatures
EZShield® applies to legitimate bank checks that are forged with your signature, as the payer, that results in a debit to your checking account.
Forged Endorsements
EZShield® applies to a legitimate check that is endorsed and cashed or deposited by someone other than the designated payee based upon a fraudulent and false endorsement. EZShield®, however, does not apply to a check that bears a legitimate original endorsement that is secondarily fraudulently endorsed.
Altered Checks
EZShield® applies to legitimate checks that contain altered information such as the payee name, check amount, or any other alteration that results in an unauthorized debit to your checking account.
