Thumbprint Signature Program
The Thumbprint Signature program works as a natural deterrent to check fraud. People wanting to cash a check are asked to place an impression of their thumbprint on the face of the check. A small "inkless" touch pad facilitates the process. Although the touch pad looks and operates just like a traditional inkpad, it leaves no stain or residue on users or clothing. The procedure is quick, simple and clean. These signatures are used by law enforcement officials only in cases where fraud is suspected.
