Electronic check processing is the perfect payment method for the online merchant or the traditional store merchant. No longer is the merchant required to only accept a paper check, taking it to the merchant’s bank and waiting 3 or more days for it to be processed.
With an echeck, the merchant accepts the customer’s checking account information electronically, provides the customer a receipt and the check is processed within 24 hours. The merchant has an immediate, searchable electronic database of all checks received and processed.
Checks are still the most popular form of payment in the U.S. with more than 90% paying by check. TheEcheck.com specializes in electronic check processing, and can show a merchant how to set up echeck in as little as 3 business days.

Training is easier than most believe and the merchant can normally have the merchant accepting electronic check processing within 72 hours or less. Assistance is available throughout the training process, ensuring the merchant’s employees know how to work the system thoroughly and efficiently.
Currently, 27% of the households in the US do not have credit cards. Of those people who do not shop online, 22% cite not having a credit or debit card as a reason. 70% of the population does not use debit cards.

Customers will no long need to set themselves reminders for periodic payments and mail a check to the merchant. Echeck automatically withdraws the money from their checking account on the agreed recurring basis.
