I’ve been using regular cheques to pay suppliers that don;t want to process an online payment. Sometimes they want the cheque marked out as ‘cash’. But I know this presents a security risk if the check fell into the wrong hands. In the US businesses can use high security checks.
Is there such a thing as a high security cheque in Ireland? I’ve been reading about how US businesses use high security checks to prevent fraud - specifically check fraud. These bank checks are like regular checks on steroids. They have special secirity features built into them to prevent counterfeiting. basically, they’re very difficult to copy.
Bank of Ireland and AIB don;t seem to have anything that works in the same way. They offer bank drafts - but this is a different thing. You need to purchase a draft by going to the bank and it’s very time consuming. High security checks can just be written and issued as and when they are needed. If there was something equivalant here in Ireland it would be great.
