When making an entry on a transaction fraud block list, it is recommended to enter the name in various formats to supply a match to the attribute (such as pay to name) provided.
A match of any of the words in the Pay To entry, creates a match. The word has to be the whole word and not a part of a word.
It is not recommended that you use words such as Company or Inc. in the name since all entries with those words would then be flagged.
When making the check or disbursement, if you have a pay to name with a common word, as mentioned above, first enter the Pay to name without the common word to see if there is a match. Then back up to enter if it is needed.
Below are examples of entries.
