An eCheck is a type of payment instrument which combines
together speed, security, as well as efficiencies associated
with processing of every single electronic based transaction
with a legal infrastructure and business related processes
that deal with regular paper checks.
An eCheck is the only first
electronic based payment system which was picked by the United
States Treasury for the purpose of allowing high valued
payments over the Internet.
The benefits of having an
electronic eCheck are:
-
eChecks eliminate the need for
expensive re-engineering and fits with the present business
practices
-
They are designed to offer both
businesses and individuals using state of the art security
methods
-
An eCheck enhances a bank
account with all new features related to e-commerce
-
An electronic check also
leverages the check payment system
-
It works just like a regular
paper check, however because everything is done
electronically, there are less steps to it!
-
eChecks can be used by customers
who have bank accounts as well as checking accounts
eChecks contain exactly the same
information as regular paper checks and add information of
value, enhancing features offered by your banking account.
eChecks are very secure, and offer encryption, digital
signatures, authentication, duplicate detection, certificate
authorities, and public key cryptography.
eChecks are expected to succeed
in the future, leading the way to an electronic commerce type
of environment for both consumers and businesses.
