CHECK-BY-PHONE
This is the fastest growing form of bill payment in the nation, be on the
forefront of this payment revolution. This is a Web-based service that allows
you as the merchant to charge recurring payments to your customer's bank
account via ACH, via credit card or via debit card in set intervals. You define
the amount and number of payments. This service saves time and money in paper
handling and postage.
When you obtain authorization to deduct funds automatically from your
customers' bank or savings accounts each month as payment for a bill, those
charges can be collected via ACH. This reduces the costs associated with
creating and mailing statements, awaiting the receipt of payments and
depositing the paper items. Your corporate cash management is optimized as
customer debits are scheduled and the payment collection dates known.
Items received by your customer's
bank electronically are processed before paper items are, thus your risk of NSF
returns is reduced. In the event of an NSF return, you are notified faster and
the return charges are lower than paper items. For membership type businesses,
instead of your customers forgetting to make payments, they may forget to
cancel their authorization to debit extending the life of the relationship
automatically.
Your Company Image
Image may not be everything, but
it doesn't hurt. With automatic debits, you project the image that the major
companies have by offering this billing option to their customers. Your company
name appears on the customer's bank statements.
