eCheck Payments: What Are They & How Do They Work?

An eCheck is simply an electronic reproduction of a paper check. You are old enough to remember them, right? Here’s a refresher:

An eCheck is like a paper check – but no paper. In the world of “lending to the masses,” – think payday loans, car title loans, personal small-dollar loans… – an eCheck is the borrower’s promise of payment, authorizing a lender to debit funds from the borrower’s bank account, either on a one-time or recurring basis. ECheck transactions are conducted electronically! Loan payments are debited and transactions are settled faster than with paper checks.

How Do eChecks Work?

Small dollar lenders having an Automated Clearing House (ACH) merchant account can debit money from their borrower’s bank account directly,  avoiding network fees associated with debit and credit card networks.

ECheck transactions are routed through the ACH network that provides the infrastructure for electronic transactions in the U.S. EChecks are the lower-cost option versus debit and credit card networks [rails]. eChecks are:

  • Less expensive than other forms of payment
  • Easy
  • Convenient
  • Fast
  • Secure.

Regularly scheduled payments – rent, mortgage payments, iTunes, Spotify, membership fees, payday loans… can be paid with an eCheck.

ECheck’s make it much less of a hassle for lenders and their borrowers to initiate new transactions for recurring loan payments.

To implement eCheck transactions, small-dollar lenders simply request authorization for payment from the borrower and initiate a transaction on the ACH rail network. The loan payment is debited from the borrower’s bank account and credited to the lender’s bank account.

Lenders partner with 3rd party payment providers to enable integration. Accomplishing this, it’s a no-brainer to employ eChecks to collect your loan payments. An API via your loan management software is a common solution.

Cannabis Banking, Debit & Credit Card Processing Solutions Available Today

What’s Important When You’re Looking At The Top Cannabis High Risk Merchant Accounts?

Cannabis Business owners that are labeled high risk sometimes think they have to settle for less. Don’t fall into that line of thinking. You need a Cannabis merchant account to do business, and you don’t want to enter into a contract that doesn’t treat you right. There are plenty of companies that offer high risk merchant accounts that feature worthwhile contracts that can even be renegotiated after a time.

For sure, you want to pay close attention to all fees charged. Are you familiar with the fees? There are the per transaction fees, but there can also be fixed or flat fees. Then there are variable fees, like the chargebacks and also hidden fees. You certainly don’t want to be blindsided by hidden fees. It pays to know what’s in a contract.

It pays to know a company’s customer service department, too. You can be happy with the fees, but you need a Cannabis company that takes care of its clients. There will be situations that arise from time to time, and you will have questions. When you need to reach out to your Cannabis payment provider concerning your merchant account, you need a company that is accessible.

The different types of fees were touched on earlier, but there are also different types of pricing models for Cannabis merchant accounts. Are you familiar with what they are? You will want to know about the pricing models as you select the best Cannabis merchant account provider. Tiered, blended, interchange plus and membership are the four types of pricing models. You can look into them further as you discover which Cannabis credit card processing companies are the best for high risk merchants.

You aren’t going to want to choose a Cannabis merchant account provider based on any one metric. You’re going to want to look at all sides, each aspect of a contract that is offered. What about early termination? That can be one of those hidden fees that you would want to know about. What about contract length? You certainly want to know how long you have to be in a contract with a payment processing company.

Find out as well why you’re labeled as a high risk merchant. Some reasons can’t be helped based on your Cannabis business in general, but other reasons can be worked out over time. In other words, after identifying the cause for your business being labeled as high risk, you might be able to work on removing that label over time. For example, if it were in relation to your credit history, improving your credit could change the game in time.

Search high risk Cannabis merchant accounts, and see which ones other business owners are using most often. Do business with a company that isn’t going to give you the runaround. You want to be sure that you are presenting payment options that your customers can trust and that they find to be convenient. Convenience as well as safety and security are important for sure. Keep all of that in mind as you search out the best high risk merchant account.

How to Calculate Payday Loan APR

How Do You Calculate the APR of a Payday Loan?

There are lots of methods for calculating the annual percentage rate of a payday loan.

Here’s one way:

Divide the total loan by 100.

Multiply the result by the fixed fee for every $100.

Now you have the total finance charge. Calculate the APR using the method above.

Payday loan APR example:

Say you borrow $650 and you know there is a fixed fee of $30 for every $100 borrowed.

Calculate the total finance charge:

Divide $650 by 100 and multiply by $30.

The total finance charge for this example is $195.

Calculate this loan’s APR using the method above. The result is  782.14%. ($195 / $650 x 365 days /14 days x 100).

APR FOR DEFERRED PRESENTMENT, PAYDAY LOAN, CAR TITLE LOAN TRANSACTIONS

HOW TO CALCULATE THE APR FOR PAYDAY LOAN, DEFERRED PRESENTMENT & CAR TITLE LOAN TRANSACTIONS

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) as required by the Truth-In-Lending Act
(TILA) for deferred presentment transactions is calculated by multiplying
the interest rate for the term by the number of terms in a 365-day year, or
symbolically:

(Interest Rate for the term) * (365/term in days)

For example, a 14-day deferred presentment loan at 17.5% interest has an APR of:
17.5% * (365/14) = 456.25%

A 15-day deferred presentment loan at 17.5% interest has an APR of:
17.5% * (365/15) = 425.83%

A 14-day deferred presentment loan at 15% interest has an APR of:
15% * (365/14) = 391.07%

A 15-day deferred presentment loan at 15% interest has an APR of:
15% * (365/15) = 365%

Buying or Selling Payday Loan Debt for Pennies? New Tool…

Many of us make a ton of money buying and selling consumer debt but it’s not for the faint of heart! Then again, the majority of lenders lose their butts when they give up on collections and try to sell their paper! This theme runs true for the Avant’s and Enova’s of our world all the way down the funnel to Danny’s Executive Loan Center in Bumphuk, Egypt.

The challenge for collectors of payday loan and installment debt is to be certain the paper they invest in has a clear chain of title and complete underlying data to support the originating loan paper trail.

Payday Loan & Installment Loan Bad Debt  = Asset

You can increase its value.

Well, thanks to the simple, inexpensive platform I’ve outlined below,  it’s a no brainer!

  • For lenders, your use of this new platform substantially increases your portfolio’s asset value
  • For buyers of distressed consumer and SMB debt, you’re guaranteed a clear chain of title & the underlying loan documentation.

On average, the nation’s top debt buyers paid 4.5 cents on the dollar! That’s nuts!

Self-driving cars are here while the second oldest profession – bad debt and bad paper buying – has not embraced technology?

Consumer debt is a huge business. The FTC analyzed the payday loan industry and reported that the “90 million consumer accounts it studied over a three-year period had an aggregate face value of $143 billion — and that debt buyers had spent $6.5 billion to acquire them.”

These portfolios of bad debt are usually sloppy, incomplete and nothing more than spreadsheets sold and resold over and over again. As the NYT reported: “In a perfect world, these portfolios come with a chain of title and underlying data that explain where the debts originated. That way, a debt buyer trying to collect from a consumer can explain the nature of the debt, fulfilling the right of the supposed debtor answering the phone. Similarly, it gives a debt collector the proof needed to justify a claim in bankruptcy court if a consumer files for bankruptcy.”

When consumers receieve a call from the new owner of this “bad paper,” they never know who actually owns their debt! So, they often pay and pay and pay…

The result? Debt markets are ineffecient! Debt portfolios – assets – are undervalued. Consumers are confused.

My answer? An empirical, systematic implementation of a new platform created to authenticate your customer’s signature for posterity.

We call it “Video Authentication.” It’s integrated with your consumer’s or SMB’s loan contract.

Your borrower – via their phone, iPad, laptop, desktop… can digitally sign and video record their agreement to your loan terms. And, they can easily attach any additional ID documentation you require of them!

This new, cutting-edge technology takes seconds and costs you less than a buck!

Whether you’re a lender, a collector, a buyer or a seller of debt, we guarantee you will experience a substantial increase in your asset valuation!

Again, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out where and how to implement this state-of-the-art technology for a multitude of industries! {API available.]
