TeleCheck® Internet Acceptance

Most small businesses and nearly half of online consumers prefer check-based payments. And many current online shoppers are looking for alternative ways to pay. Most importantly, half of large merchants who offer goods and services over the Internet plan to offer check payments in the next 12 months. Keeping pace with these changes and the competition is important to the future of your business.

The TeleCheck® Internet Acceptance service provides a secure and easy way to accept check payments over the Internet. This real-time approval and payment solution can improve operational efficiencies and may increase revenue by offering stronger fraud protection, quick funding and low-cost integration. TeleCheck makes it easy to accept checks by offering several implementation options. We work directly with your technology group or your eCommerce provider to ensure a seamless integration.

How It Works

Customers enter their checking account information in a browser window hosted by TeleCheck or fields integrated into your payment page. TeleCheck then transfers funds directly from your customers’ checking accounts to your business account. The check is processed as an electronic transaction through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network and funds merchant accounts generally within two business days. The TeleCheck Internet Acceptance service is offered as both a verification and warranty solution. With the warranty solution, TeleCheck manages the collections process to alleviate your operational challenges and to help streamline business operations.
