eCheck Payment Processing
An eCheck, or electronic check, is the digital version of old conventional paper checks. eChecks are completely electronic and do not use an inch of paper during the whole transaction cycle. They use digital signatures for authentication, and funds are transferred between bank accounts once the eCheck is cleared.
The process is straightforward: after both parties agree to a transaction, the payer fills up an authorization form. The merchant verifies the eCheck details, enters the payer's information into the processing software, and submits the request. The eCheck payment service provider then initiates the transaction through the ACH network, and funds are withdrawn from the payer's account and deposited into the payee's account.
eChecks are ideal for businesses that want low processing fees, reduced chargebacks, and flexible payment acceptance options. With a 99% approval rate and $0 setup fee, eCheckPlan makes it simple to start accepting eCheck payments.
