Electronic Check Conversion

The next time you write a check to your local merchant, the cashier may hand it back to you after the payment has been processed – electronically. Or maybe you’re mailing a check as payment to a company. That payment, too, may be processed electronically. Why? More merchants and companies are using electronic check conversion, which converts information from your paper check into an electronic payment from your bank account.   

How does electronic check conversion work?

The check is run through a Check Imager or Check Reader which captures the Account Number, Routing Number, and Sales Amount. In a Retail environment, once check is approved, the merchant gives the Voided Check and Signed Sales Receipt back to the Check Reader. The electronic check system transfers the amount of check minus the processing fees directly into their business' checking account. Electronic check conversion also may be used for mail-order/telephone-order accounts.
