5 BENEFITS Increase the ability to get paid when performing collection calls Improve your A/R aging Reduce your DSO Reduction of traditional lockbox and other bank fees Enable batched deposits Integrated reporting enabling auto cash application & auto posting Accelerated returns notification; NSF s discovered earlier Schedule future or recurring transactions Electronic transactions take precedence over paper checks Eliminate lengthy wait time associated with mail services, fax checks, and traditional lockboxes Significantly lower cost than credit card processing fees

6 TURNKEY SOLUTION ACH Gateway enables you to receive funds from your customers almost instantaneously in a secure internet environment. Convenient - An ACH transaction can be processed over the phone or internet. Secure - As ACH transactions are designed to occur automatically and electronically, they dramatically lessen the amount of people who can access the personal information. Furthermore, the electronic nature of ACH transactions means that the records cannot be stolen, lost or misplaced in the mailing system. Reduces Costs - ACH payments are substantially cheaper than accepting a credit card payment over the phone. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency estimated that a traditional paper check transaction costs five times as much to process as the same transaction processed through the ACH. Access to Funds - Accelerated funds availability, usually within hours. No need for time-consuming and expensive integrations.

30 ACH VS. RDC Subject ACH RDC What are the differences between ACH and RDC? Paper check payment is converted to an ACH electronic payment. This works as follows: Paper check is tendered for payment. Payee adds payment amount and name of payee, then transmits data through the ACH Network to debit customer s account. In ARC, the check is destroyed after conversion; in POP, the check is returned to the checkwriter at the time of payment. These transactions flow through the ACH Network. Paper check payment is imaged; the image is later converted into a substitute check. The substitute check is used in the paper check collection system. This works as follows: Paper check is captured and converted into a digital image. An FI the reconverting bank uses the digital image to create a substitute check, which is a paper reproduction of the original check (front and back). The substitute check must bear this legend: This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check. These transactions do not flow through the ACH Network.
