TeleCheck^® Electronic Check Acceptance^®

Not all credit card processing companies offer the Check Guarantee Service. With First Data Independent Sales® you can be assured that when you accept a check for payment it will be money in the bank. How? Simply apply for the check guarantee service from TeleCheck during your merchant account signup or contact us for an application if you currently have a merchant account and would like to incorporate TeleCheck Guarantee Services into your business services.

The TeleCheck Warranty service acts like an insurance policy for merchants when accepting paper checks as TeleCheck automatically warrantees the full amount of any check it approves.*

 

 

The TeleCheck Electronic Check Acceptance (ECA) and Warranty 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.

ECA Electronic Check Acceptance

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. Designed to mirror the process currently used for credit cards.

The TeleCheck ECA™ program converts paper checks electronically at the point of sale and transfers the money from the customer's account to the merchant's, acting in many ways like a debit card payment.

"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.
