Check Fraud Protection offers up to $25,000 advancement in the event of forged signatures, forged endorsement, or alterations to your checks. Victims of check fraud will also receive check replacement at no cost to them in the event their checking account is closed as a result of the fraud.

Identity Restoration Pro offers a proactive approach to fraud and identity theft by providing education on scams and breaches, an online identity vault for the secure storage of personal information with anywhere access, a password manager, and access to a dedicated, certified fraud resolution specialist to assist in the event of fraud, lost wallet or identity theft.

A: There is no notification that the service is expiring, however the Identity Restoration Pro service will be extended an additional year each time you purchase checks from Bradford Exchange Checks®.
