What is an 'Electronic Check'?  Reply with quote  

Hi,


I hear people talking about this all the time but I have no clue to what it really is

Can anybody enlighten me on this electronic check?


Can I use it if I have a bank account?


Thanks

The cashier runs your paper check through a machine that takes a picture of it (with your signature on it) and transmits that picture to your bank. The check is stamped by the machine and returned to you as a cancelled check. The amount of the check is immediately deducted from your bank account. There is no "float"

Tele Check electronic check acceptance (ECA) verification service gives merchants an effective choice for receiving and processing checks at point-of-sale. cash is very liquid part of the business, especially in the current environment. Nevertheless, in whatever way you save some cash is great.

Although most of your customers may pay by credit, debit, or with cash, allowing them to also pay by check is good for business. It is also important to determine how you are insured if the check conversion system should fail. If a check is not valid, for example, will the check conversion provider swallow the cost.
