If you are starting a new business, having diverse payment processing options is crucial to recruiting and maintaining clients. One vital payment processing option that you must provide is electronic check payment processing. This new technology is hassle free, simplifies check cashing and ensures that your business gets paid quicker. Before signing with a payment processor, make sure that they provide e-Check processing.
The e-Check Process
The process begins when a customer writes a regular paper check at the POS. The check is run through a reader that captures the important information on the check like the account number, check number, and routing number. Then additional merchant information is entered to complete the one-time electronic payment. A receipt is printed to be signed, voided and returned to the check writer. The transaction will appear as a debit on the customer’s bank statement. The merchant then sends the check information to the payment provider and the funds appear in the merchant’s account within 2 days.
Why Electronic Checks?
e-Checks offer a variety of benefits for merchants. Merchants no longer have to venture to the bank, have no deposit slips to complete, and drastically reduce the chances of checks being lost or stolen. If your company has multiple locations, checks can be processed at each location then funds can be sent to one central account. Plus electronic checks offer guarantee programs that uncover issues like insufficient funds quickly.
