What advantages does ECHO provide over other check services?
ECHO is a tier 1 processor, meaning that we offer direct access to both the eCheck clearing system and to check authorization systems we own. The Automated Clearing House transactions (ACH, or eCheck) we process are controlled by our proprietary systems and our own originating bank. Likewise, checks are authorized through our industry-leading database and in many cases through the Visa POS Check network of banks. Processing checks through ECHO allows you to: Expedite cash flow over traditional paper methods Reduce the risk of accepting checks that are later returned unpaid and must be collected. Improve the success rate of collecting items that are returned. Reduce paper handling and clerical workload at your business.
