May is Small Business Month: Protect Your Business with Treasury Management Tools

Small Business Month is a time to celebrate the entrepreneurs, visionaries, and local leaders who are the backbone of our communities. At Willamette Valley Bank, we know that small businesses do more than create jobs—they create vibrancy, resilience, and opportunity in every town they serve.

While running a business requires passion and grit, it also calls for smart financial tools to help manage daily operations and minimize risk. That’s where Treasury Management solutions come in—especially when it comes to protecting your business from fraud.

Here’s how our Treasury Management services can help keep your business secure:

ACH Positive Pay & ACH Blocks
These services allow you to control which vendors and accounts can post ACH transactions. You can block unauthorized debits and only approve payments from trusted sources.

Check Positive Pay
Check fraud is still a significant threat. With Positive Pay, we match checks presented for payment against a list you provide. If something doesn’t match—like the amount or check number—we flag it for your review before funds are released.

Business Online Banking with Dual Control
Adding an extra layer of protection, dual control ensures that no single employee can initiate and approve a transaction. It's a simple but powerful way to reduce internal fraud risk.

Remote Deposit Capture
Minimize your trips to the bank and reduce the risk of lost or stolen checks. With Remote Deposit Capture, you can securely scan and deposit checks right from your office.

Wire Transfer Security Protocols
Our wire transfer services include multi-factor authentication and review procedures to help prevent unauthorized or fraudulent transfers.

Protecting your business isn’t just about reacting to threats—it’s about preventing them. That’s why we offer customizable solutions designed to fit the unique needs of your operation.

This Small Business Month, let’s not only celebrate your growth—but safeguard it. Whether you're a one-person shop or a growing team, our Treasury Management experts are here to help you strengthen your financial foundation and defend against fraud.
