PROCESS CHECKS
JUST LIKE A CREDIT CARD!
Changing Paper Checks to an
Electronic Item Benefits You and Your Customers.
Now you can take advantage of electronic
commerce to increase employee productivity and to improve customer
service. American Bank Draft Systems Electronic Check Conversion (ECC)
converts a traditional paper check into an electronic item at
point-of-sale and processes it through the Federal Reserve's Automated
Clearing House (ACH).
Electronic Check Conversion saves
time and money while reducing the risks of NSF checks. A check is
now as hassle-free as a credit card transaction. It's more
efficient and secure. And it lets you focus more on your business
and taking care of your customers.
Ending the Paper Trail with ECC...
During the 1980s, technology revolutionized
the payments world. No one uses a manual imprinter to accept
credit cards any longer. Instead, merchants handle credit card
transactions through EFT (Electronic Funds Transfers) using VeriFone or
similar terminals. Paper checks have remained non-automated...until
now!
Here's
how ECC™ works: When a customer makes payment with
a check, it is stamped as an electronic item. The paper check is
then run through a check reader where MICR (Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition) information is captured. The amount is entered on a
terminal keypad. The check is verified against a negative database
for acceptance. Assuming the check is approved, a receipt is printed for
the check writer to sign authorizing the electronic conversion and
recovery, if required.
The transaction is electronically
transferred through the ACH system where funds are debited directly from
the customer's account and deposited automatically into the merchant's
account usually within 48 hours.
