Apex Merchant Solutions Introduces eChecks

Saves Up to 50 Percent per Transaction for E-Commerce Merchants

PEEKSKILL, N.Y., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Apex Merchant Solutions
(www.apexamsne.com), a leading independent sales office for credit-card
processing banks, today announced the availability of eChecks for its merchant
clientele. eChecks lets visitors at e-commerce sites pay for their purchases
through business or personal checking accounts.
eChecks costs merchants 1.5-to-2.0 percent per transaction compared to
2.5-to-4.0 percent for credit-card processing. In addition to saving as much
as 50 percent per transaction, eChecks also provides access to an estimated 10
million online households without a credit card, thus providing an additional
revenue flow for the merchant.
Linda Thompson, President of Apex Merchant Solutions, said, "eChecks is an
ideal solution to increase your customer base, provide a convenient
alternative for your e-commerce visitors, and reduce your cost of accepting
payments. It may be used for almost anything sold over the Internet and is
rapidly growing in size and popularity."
She went on to note some of the target industries for eChecks including
most e-commerce and business-to-business companies.
Other features of eChecks include user authentication, age verification
and a reduced liability window for charge backs, 60 days for checks compared
to 180 days for credit cards.
eChecks also offers additional service options such as payments
management, returns management, OFAC compliance and Canadian ACH processing.
Ms. Thompson added, "Offering eChecks is a matter of simple arithmetic.
Many more potential buyers use a checking account than a credit card. And
those with both may experience temporary financial constraints regarding one
or the other."
