Check Processing Services PayProTec, a leading provider in the check services industry, offers solutions that provide thoroughness, speed, and reliability, making it easy for merchants to accept checks with confidence. Traditional Guarantee Check Guarantee is the most commonly used check service allowing the merchant to �insure� the face value of the check and protecting the merchant against checks written on non-sufficient funds (NSF). Merchants obtain electronic approval or voice authorization for the transaction and then deposit the checks. Checks that do not clear can be submitted to PayProTec for reimbursement. This reimbursement typically takes 2-4 weeks from the time of receipt of the original item, and is processed electronically via the ACH. It is sent under a specific category, so the merchant can identify that the credit is for a bounced item. Check Verification Verification allows merchants to access the PayProTec Negative Database to verify negative information regarding a particular check or check-writer. The merchant is simply �purchasing� information to aid in the decision to accept or decline a check. PayProTec provides an approval based on whether or not there is a positive match on the checking account number or home telephone number of the check-writer in the negative database. The decision to accept any check remains solely up to the merchant. Check Conversion & Guarantee PayProTec has combined all the benefits of check conversion and check guarantee to provide the most powerful check service in the industry today. Merchants are able to convert paper checks into electronic deposits within 48 hours (two business days) while insuring the face value of the check and eliminating any chargeback liability. This service allows merchants to accept checks as safely and conveniently as credit cards.
