eChecks are billed separately from your monthly gateway fee. eChecks are billed on a per transaction bases of 0.75% of the transaction price.
Paper checks are a trusted payment method that has been around for more than a century. While the popularity of checks has waned over the years, many people still use personal checks as their preferred form of payment. They make sense in some cases–mortgage payments, donations, utility bills, etc. But physical checks pose an interesting problem in the current contactless environment. Not to mention, the amount of time required to process and clear funds.
The good news is that you have options. eChecks can help provide a secure environment for your customers while improving your own business processes.
Authorize.net’s eCheck payment service allows businesses to accept electronic check payments for goods and services purchased via mail order, telephone order, eCommerce websites, or subscriptions.
An electronic check works much like a regular check, only instead of using a paper check to provide their bank account, routing number, and payment authorization, customers provide payment information through an eCheck authorization form, allowing you to process the information electronically.
