These options have eliminated the need for paper checks and have greatly reduced a business' risk for fraud when accepting checks.

2. Check Use in Virginia on the Rise

According to studies performed, paper checks are the most commonly used form of payment for goods or services. It is estimated that over fifty billion checks were written last year alone. This figure is supposed to double within the next few years. More than eighty percent of consumers enjoy the convenience of using paper checks while they are shopping or running errands in Virginia. Over sixty percent of the purchasing population does not have a major credit card; therefore, their main form of payment is a paper check. People are even using their checks to pay for twenty percent of their online transactions. Check use is on the rise, causing businesses to worry about fraud. With the use of personal computers, blank check paper, and an at-home printer, fraudulent check use has increased alarmingly by five hundred percent according to nationally accredited banks. Technology has made it easier for counterfeiters to pass off fraudulent checks as legal tender. If a business receives a fraudulent check, they are stuck with the headache of recovering the funds and having to pay re-deposit fees to their bank. This is why Virginia businesses, either company, corporate, or individual have been switching to the convenience check services. Check service organizations offer a fast and simple way to process, deposit, verify, guarantee, and collect on any check electronically. This takes the so-called fear and worry out of receiving bad checks.

3. POS Services and Check Online Services in Virginia

A POS Service, or point of sale service, allows a merchant to accept a check payment at the initial time of sale. The way in which this check service works is that a computer system scans the numbers at the bottom of a check and batches those numbers like it would a credit card. Then, the system prints out a receipt for the customer to sign. A receipt is given to the customer for their records and one is left with the merchant. This service uses checks like credit cards, but without the credit card processing fee. The business does not have to buy any additional equipment, as this service can be offered to consumers by using a standard debit card or credit card processing machine. This is an easy process for the consumer and the participating business in Virginia, as it allows for automatic withdrawal of funds from the consumer’s banking account directly into the merchant’s business account.

Businesses are able to process checks over the Internet or phone by using Check Online Services. Check Online Services allows checks to be processed by merchants with the simple step of using an Internet web browser. This means that the merchant can process and accept checks online instantly. Payment can be directly accepted through your website or Internet site. This check service is also helpful for telemarketers, as it allows companies in Virginia to accept checks over the phone. With this check payment option, businesses no longer have to deal with the-check-is-in the mail syndrome.

4. Check Guarantee

Check service companies often offer a check guarantee on all received and processed checks. Businesses in Virginia are able to rest assured, as this service nearly eliminates any negative revenue accrued from bounced checks. Check insurance or check guarantee, as it is commonly called, works by the customer and merchant providing basic information. This information is either put into a hand-key terminal used for credit cards, a point of sale terminal, or into computer software. The information is instantaneously processed, and the merchant is notified that there are sufficient funds in the purchaser’s account so they can proceed with the sale. This check payment service is much like using a credit card. Merchants benefit from it, because it takes the hassle out of bank trips around Virginia, and customers enjoy the convenience of not having to fill out a check. An image is stored of the customer’s check during the process. This check service costs less then the use of a credit card. Merchants are put to ease from the worries of fraudulent or non-sufficiently funded checks.
