Electronic Check Acceptance^® (ECA)™

The TeleCheck Electronic ECA Verification Service converts paper checks into electronic payments at the point of sale and delivers funds directly to your bank account similar to credit card processing.

This innovative check service is designed to mirror the process currently used for credit cards, the ECA service converts paper checks into electronic items at the point of sale and automatically deposits these funds into your bank account utilizing the TeleCheck Eclipse™ Payment Terminal, a specialized terminal that processes checks, credit cards and debit cards all-in-one.

The check writer's signature allows TeleCheck^® to electronically present the transaction to the check writer's bank for settlement and that money is then automatically deposited into your business's bank account.

This service not only delivers a streamlined check acceptance process, but also eliminates returned checks, returned check fees and it eliminates the need to make trips the bank.

This new digital process improves your cash flow. Once the check is approved, it’s TeleCheck’s responsibility! No returned checks, bank deposit fees or hassles. Just like with credit cards, the service ensures quick funds settlement.

"If a check bounces its Telechecks problem not yours."

How It Works...

The process is simple. After the check writer presents his check, the clerk authorizes it through a TeleCheck ECA compatible terminal then gives the check-writer a printed receipt for signature. This signature allows TeleCheck to electronically present the transaction to the check writer’s bank for settlement and that money is automatically deposited your bank account. And, because the electronic transaction is TeleCheck’s responsibility, if it fails to clear the check writer’s account, you’ll never see a returned check or returned check fees. The bad check or transaction is TeleCheck’s responsibility.

Checks - A Hassle-Free Payment Option

In every way, the ECA service is a process that will make it safer, faster and easier to accept checks and will make checks a more viable payment option for both you and your customers.
