Save 18x More Accepting Echeck Payments vs. Credit Cards
An electronic check also known as echeck is a type of online payment that uses the Automated Clearing House network to transfer funds electronically. Echecks are composed of the same bank routing number and bank account number as found on the bottom of your paper check. This information is used to transfer funds into or out of your bank account depending on whether the transaction is a debit or credit.

E-Checks vs. Debit and Card Payments
When a debit or credit card transaction is authorized the issuing bank takes the risk and liability for securing funds for the transaction. Spending is curtailed by limits on a debit card and credit cards. It is expensive for the bank to counteract fraud and chargebacks. On the contrary the issuer/writer of echeck payments are responsible for the transaction. Transactions are restricted by the amount of available funds available in the bank account.
Echecks are the preferred method of payment acceptance by many businesses because echecks generally cost a flat fee versus a percentage like credit cards. As a result businesses that accept large transactions prefer the use of echecks. However, echeck transactions are not without risk. Just like regular paper checks, echecks can bounce if funds go none sufficient. In addition, the processing times take a little longer than debit cards and credit cards. The average deposit time for echecks is 3-4 days. Easy Epayments process echecks with lightning quick speed. Same day deposits are available with 2 day deposits the norm.
However, the benefits out way the drawbacks. On average online credit card transactions will cost you 3% - 3.5%. You’ll save roughly 18x adding echeck payments to your payment processing.
The math is simple.
A $300 online credit card transaction will cost you $9. Using our echeck payment processing will cost you .50 cents for the same transaction.
$9 divided by .50 = 18xs more savings or 1800% more savings per transaction.
