As online retailing continues to grow, merchants are searching for better ways to handle their customer's online transactions. Many online businesses accept credit card payment option, but are finding their inability to accept checks prevents them from maximizing sales from a large segment of consumers.

Online transactions over the Internet are increasing every month and so as consumer demand for more options increase, merchants are realizing the importance of meeting those demands for complete customer satisfication. Internet Check (iCheck) offers your customers a safe and secure means of payment. If your business is already accepting credit card payments online, there is no reason you shouldn't offer checks online.

iCheck allows online merchants to easily and securely accept and process check payments electronically via their website. Customers who wish to pay by check simply select the Internet check option and enter the requested bank account information.

Once the information has been input by the customer, the data is encrypted and transmitted for check verification against both a positive and negative database for acceptance. Upon acceptance, the transaction is electronically transferred throught the ACH system where funds are debited directly from the customer's account and deposited automatically into the merchant's account, usually within 48 hours.
