Merchants are increasingly recognizing the advantages of eChecks or ACH transactions over traditional checks and credit cards due to significant cost savings.

Check guarantee and check verification services help businesses reduce losses from bad checks. Check guarantee reimburses merchants for NSF checks if guidelines are followed, but can have steep fees and potential debits if collection fails.
