This product is a game changer. Being able to get a check in my vendors hands on the same day for less than a postage stamp is incredible!

  • Kym D.

    Beer Mule Bottleshop + Pour House, LLC

We spend all of this time, energy, and money to get checks out every week and you're going to turn it into a two click task? I'm all in. You cut our expenses at least in half when it comes to envelopes, checks, stamps, rental of the mail machines, extra ink, extra time that was all spent. Not only have you saved us more than 50% in dollars, you also cut our time down more than 90%. Totally awesome! It really doesn't get any better than that.

What is an eCheck?

eChecks are simply regular checks that you can send and receive in just seconds using email. There’s no additional software or technology required and anyone with an email address can receive an eCheck.

Read our Guide to eCheck Payments for more helpful information about using electronic checks.

How long will it take to set up my account?

Setting up an account only takes a few minutes, however, before you can start sending eChecks, you’ll need to verify that you’re authorized to access the checking account being added. This verification process can take minutes or up to 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the required verification.

How long does it take for an eCheck to reach the recipient?

Depends on how fast you can hit ‘send.’ Because eChecks are sent digitally, your payment can reach them within seconds of being sent!

 

How do I deposit eChecks?

Recipients receive a notification email that contains a secure link to their check. All they need to do is click the green box to retrieve it.

A short introduction video is available for first-time recipients that answers common questions about eChecks. Otherwise, they’re free to preview the check through a secure online portal. Your bank account and routing numbers are hidden until the eCheck is printed.

Print from any home or office printer, on plain white paper, at any time within 90 days of receipt. No need for recipients to ever enter their banking information, and there are no fees or obligations to receive their payments.

After cutting along the dotted line and endorsing the back, the recipient can deposit the eCheck with their bank or credit union via ATM or using Remote Deposit Capture on a smartphone. When available, if the recipient needs access to an eCheck payment even faster, they can opt in for those funds to be deposited to their bank account in minutes by using Deposit Services that include direct deposit, deposit to a debit card, or deposit to PayPal.

Will banks accept eChecks?

Yes. eChecks are exactly like any other check accepted by your bank. If your bank does have questions, they can simply follow the directions on the check to verify its authenticity.
