What are Recurring Payments?

A recurring billing model gives customers a convenient way to purchase from you. Customers pay you at regular intervals.  Payments continue until the goods are paid for or the service is cancelled.

Millions of Americans pay for goods & services with electronic check recurring payments. Echecks are the most popular alternative payment method for US consumers.

Echecks electronically debit the amount of the recurring payment form customers' bank accounts and automatically deposit the funds to your business bank account.   

 Echecks vs Cards for Recurring Payments

Recurring payments are particularly well-suited for electronic check processing.  The payment method is far more effective in protecting ensuring long-term cash flow than are card payments. 

Once established, a bank account is seldom changed.  Customers keep the same bank account for years.  Money from recurring payments keeps flowing.

Card payments are more transient.  One in four cards is reissued every year by banks.  Each time a card is reissued, you have to get updated card information in order to authorize a recurring payment. This is expensive and time consuming.  And creates an unnecessary opportunity for customers to cancel.
