What are the benefits of eCheck?
Business benefits
Save time, reduce costs
- Save time. Because eChecks are processed electronically, you don’t have to wait for a paper check to arrive in the mail before receiving notice of a customer’s payment.
- Reduce errors. The process of receiving and depositing a paper check has multiple opportunities for human error. There are also costs associated with check acceptance, including employee expenses and bank fees.
- Less effort. With a one-time approval to withdraw funds from a customer’s account, business can automate recurring payments, eliminating the need to manually collect payments.
- Low costs. eCheck transactions are typically inexpensive for businesses, with average costs between 26 and 50 cents (for comparison, paper check costs are typically between $1.01 and $2.)1
- Small dispute window. The period for a customer to issue a chargeback period for an eCheck is 60 days from the purchase date.
