Electronic checking makes it easy for online businesses to add an electronic check payment option to their Web site. Customers who wish to pay for a purchase with an electronic check can simply select the electronic check option and enter the requested bank account information.
The data is encrypted using SSL encryption technology and transmitted to a secure server for posting. Transactions are automatically settled each day. Then, the system debits the consumer's account via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and transfers the funds to the merchant's account. If the account numbers are entered incorrectly or the account has insufficient funds, the merchant is notified.
REDUCES BAD CHECKS
Our Electronic Check Conversion greatly reduces the cost, time, and risks associated with check acceptance at the point-of-sale (POS). ECHO converts paper checks into electronic items, so you don't have to deposit checks at your bank. This means that you get your money faster and you can detect problems with specific accounts sooner.
QUICK FACTS
- Simplified handling - No listing and balancing of checks and no deposits at your bank.
- Faster funds availability (48-72 hours) than is usually available with paper checks.
- Checks are electronically deposited.
- Monthly activity statements and on-line reporting available.
- On-line viewing of checks allows you to research returned items.
HOW IT WORKS
Your customer presents a paper check at the point-of-sale.
Your clerk feeds the check through a terminal with an imager where the MICR information is captured.
The check is verified. If negative information is found, the check is not accepted.
An authorization slip is printed for the check writer to sign, this allows the paper check to be converted into an electronic transaction.
The check is then immediately returned to the consumer stamped "void".
The transaction data is electronically transferred where funds are debited directly from the writer's checking account.
Settlement is made with the merchant and credit transaction deposits the purchase amount into the merchant's account within 48-72 hours.
