Cut Costs and Protect Profits with e-Check Processing
Electronically processing checks is highly advantageous for merchants, and it makes no difference whether these checks are physical or digital. Although most merchants accept credit and debit cards, many customers still pay with checks and money orders.
Consider the following benefits of e-check payment services with Painless Processing:
Secure Payments
E-check processing is the fastest and safest way to accept funds for transactions. The money is transferred through the same system as direct deposits, which minimizes fraud. Additionally, we provide a screening system to prevent non-sufficient fund (NSF) transactions.
Lower-Cost Processing
Per transaction, e-checks have lowest rates of all payment methods. When customers pay with checks, they are less likely to make errors in what they owe, reducing the time and resources spent in correcting erroneous transactions.
Streamline Operations
Owners enhance their business by implementing e-check processing by eliminating trips to the bank, and can go paperless. E-check funds are approved four times faster than bank deposits and credit/debit card charges. Sales upwards of $2500 are cleared efficiently and with minimal cost to the merchant. Painless Processing also makes it easy to set up automatic billing for recurring charges.
New Profit Avenues
E-checks are accepted globally, allowing merchants to broaden their audience and access new customers nationally or worldwide.
Check 21 – Scan and Deposit Checks Online
Painless Processing offers merchants the ability to digitize their check processing completely. Check 21 services revolutionize the process of accepting check deposits, making funds accessible in a shorter timeframe. Merchants can scan their paper checks, watch as the funds are transmitted and cleared, and feel at ease knowing the checks are verified. With Check 21, our clients have until eight PM to deposit checks and reduce the time and financial costs of accepting paper ones.
Painless Processing offers Check 21 for high-risk industries, protecting them from fraud, NCF transactions, and helping them operate when listed on TMF or MATCH records.
Check By Phone – Phone, Fax, & Website Check Processing
Our merchants can utilize this service to accept checks via phone call, fax, or their website. The transactions are recorded and tracked in our secure payment gateway that updates in real time, allowing our merchants to keep watch on their finances. Funds are accepted, endorsed, and deposited within 24-hours, making cash flow reliable and predictable. All transaction records can be accessed at any time through our database.
This system is approved for 99.9 percent of our customers, making it an accessible solution for high-risk industry businesses, TMF and Match listed merchants, and those with poor credit or a history of bankruptcy.
Automated and user-friendly, our system provides all relevant information on fund transfers, eliminating the need for filling out deposit slips, copying checks, making trips to the bank, or manually reconciling checkbooks. Check by Phone simplifies check and e-check acceptance to help business owners run their enterprise more effectively.
