Thumbprint Signature Program

Fight check fraud by joining SDBA's Thumbprint Signature Program. When non-account holders ask to cash checks, request the standard I.D. forms plus impress their thumbprints on the checks. The procedure is quick, simple and clean.
How does it work?
The program works as a natural deterrent. Persons 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.

Criminals seeking to commit check fraud are unlikely to put their thumbprints on bogus checks. Those who are foolish enough to cooperate leave a positive ID that can be turned over to law enforcement.
