Phone Checks

Electronic check processing offers your company a fast, efficient and secure method for receiving funds. Unlike the conventional method of waiting for a customer to mail a check, our phone check services allow you to verify and collect money electronically while your have the customer on the line.

Today, only one out of four checking account holders has a credit card with an available balance.   In a recent study done by Mastercard, over 25 million Americans cannot get credit because of troubled or nonexistent credit histories.  Consumers are both maxed out and can't use their cards or are rethinking that old familiar "charge it!" and are moving towards check based transactions. In fact, in addition to the 25 million Americans who can't buy with credit anymore, nearly one third of all consumers online today, prefer to use a check for payment.

Offering e-checks has shown revenue increases of 3% to upwards of 15%.  Companies offering multiple payment types increase completed sales by 14%.  In addition, the cost is significantly lower than taking a credit card payment.
