4 Roads to a TeleCheck Sale
§Increased Revenue/Profit
Many merchants use TeleCheck to take checks they wouldn’t normally take;
       Out of state, high $ amount, low check #
Great question to ask;
“Mr. Merchant, do you refuse any checks at the point of sale?  If so, how would you like to take these transactions and have them funded just like a credit card?”
§Speed/Ease at Point of Sale

 

TeleCheck makes it easier for cashiers and consumers at the point of sale
-   often no additional ID
-   Quicker than getting manager appro-
          val or contacting bank
-   ECA eliminates shift end accounting
-   Much easier to train cashiers on
           procedures
§Lower Bank Fee (for ECA only)
A merchant that that takes 100 checks a month and receives 1 bad check will spend about $45 monthly on bank fees.($.15 deposit fee and $15 return check fee –  100 x $.15 = $15 and $15 x 2 deposits = $30)
§Loss Prevention
Not only does this eliminate the financial loss on the check
TeleCheck eliminates return check fees with ECA.
Eliminates the hassles of doing collection work
