The EZCheck Electronic Check Transfer program offers merchants the most state-of-the-art check processing system in the industry. Increasing sales and profits is as fast and easy as accepting credit cards. Just think of it as a check without paper. With the EZCheck ECT program, the information on the customer's check is used to create an electronic transaction right at the register using the EZCheck Total Solutions System (Talento and EC5000i Imager).

This system is capable of processing electronic checks, all major credit cards, debit cards (with an optional PIN pad), and Visa and MasterCard Purchase Cards. With a built-in printer, the Total Solutions System takes up less counter space and is a simple system to operate. In addition to the sleek design, the Total Solutions System provides full reporting capabilities. Easy access to all payment information is printed at Batch Closing, including the number and amount of authorizations and voids.

The EZCheck ECT program uses the same secure system to process checks that banks have used for years to transmit check funds from bank to bank. Merchants can now accept more checks at lower net cost, and rely on the convenience of electronic funding directly to their bank accounts, usually within two banking days.

When a customer pays by check, you simply verify and write the required information on the face of the check and run it through the EZCheck Total Solutions System to authorize the transaction. Once the check is approved, the customer signs the authorization slip to complete the transaction (just like signing a credit card receipt). Then, you stamp the check "do not deposit" or "void" (so it can't be used again) and simply return the check to the customer along with his copy of the authorization slip. Keep the signed copy for reconciliation at the end of the day.
