EZShield Review
EZShield is the pioneer and patent holder of check fraud protection (according to their website). Over the last 14 years, the company has educated over 10 million small businesses and consumers on check fraud prevention. In addition, they offer identity theft protection and prevention services, check cashing protection systems, and credit card protection services.
EZShield primarily offers fraud services through financial institutions and partners with employer benefits, payroll, warranty providers and insurance organizations. EZShield is an identity theft protection service that fights identity crime through strategic partnerships. However, there are nice plans for consumers and their families as well.
What We Like 
EZShield has been an Accredited business since 2008 and has a stellar BBB rating of A+. There have been zero complaints filed with the BBB and that alone is unique to many of the other identity theft protection agencies. We like the longevity of the company as it has been around since 2001.
We like that members have the ability to mix and match plan features. There is a low base price and then subscribers can add the protection they want most and can pass on what they don’t think they’ll need. This structure fits any budget.
If you’re a check writer, this is the protection for you. The EZShield Plus plan offers check fraud protection of funds up to $25,000. If someone forges your signature or alters your checks, EZShield will advance funds that are fraudulently obtained within 72 hours. It’s often included in upgraded checking account plans at participating banks.
What We Don’t Like 
While EZShield does offer a suite of identity theft protection and resolution services, they are rooted with check fraud protection. With the rise of digital technology, the use of paper checks has rapidly declined by consumers and businesses. In 2013, they represented only 10 percent of all U.S. payments, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Due to processing delays, lack of efficiency, environmental consequences and fees, paper checks are on their way out..fast. Today, many people don’t use them and would not benefit from this service.
The Bottom Line
EZShield has been a trusted source for fraud prevention and identity protection for over a decade. With a buffet of protection options, their services can fit into any budget. If you are an avid check writer, this is probably the company for you. If you are not a check writer, you will want to look deeply at the other services they offer and compare them to other identity theft protection agencies before you make a decision. EZShield does have one of the best BBB ratings in the business which indicates they are a solid choice.

Buying the protection was simple. But there is absolutely no explanation about how it works and what is really covered.
