Accept Echecks to Get More Sales

Accept checks online to expand market reach by capturing sales from buyers who do not have cards, are maxed out on cards, or simply prefer to pay check.

Electronic checks debit funds from your buyers' checking or savings account and automatically deposit the money into your business bank account.

How Do Electronic Checks Work?

At checkout, the buyer enters bank routing & account information rather than card data.  The buyer clicks a button authorizing you to debit payment from the bank account.  

Consumer authorization may be done online, over the phone, or by written authorization.  Confirmation of the payment is sent to the customer.

Electronic checks are cleared through the Federal Reserve.  Files may be submitted to the Fed either through the ACH payments network or via Check 21 bank-to-bank image transfers.
