Health Club Scenario
Imagine a health club that receives monthly dues from its members for access to their facility and equipment. What does one do for those customers who do not have a credit card, do not wish to use one, or are at or near their credit limit? Checks are a viable option, but what about the repeated trips to the bank, the paperwork, and the hassle of collecting on bounced checks. Customers do not want to the hassle of having to pay their fee every month in person. What about the time lost waiting for bad checks to return, while those members continue to use the club? With First ACH, the hassles of the check are gone. No more trips to the bank as billing is handled electronically - straight from the customers account to yours.

Small Online Business
Imagine you are a small business owner and you sell your products online. Your typical customer pays by credit card, no problem – But how many sales do you lose because credit card payment is not an option for them and checks by mail require long wait times for their goods? With a check the customer waits for the merchandise, you wait for the payment to arrive, make trips to the bank, and wait for payment to clear. Checks make for a lot of lost time and added hassle. Not with First ACH. After providing the account information from a check over the phone or via the internet with First ACH CheckOut, you can process an ACH debit to their account, transferring money from their account to yours. For only $9.99 a month you can process 10 free ACH transactions a month. Even if you process more than 10 ACH transactions you still pay only .39 cents each. At these rates you’ll find ACH is cheaper than credit cards. Since ACH transactions are processed faster than most banks process checks you will be able to wait for payment to be received before you ship your product. If you utilize First ACH CheckOut, your customers will like the additoinal payment choices offered to them. Open up your options and open an account with First ACH.
Taxi Cab / Transportation Service Scenario
Consider a transportation service dealing in cabs, shuttles, black car, etc. Every time a client with a billing account receives transportation a paper voucher is generated that the driver then turns in to their office. These are then sorted and entered by hand. The clients are then invoiced, trips to the bank are made, and the office waits for the check to come in the mail.
With First ACH there’s no trip to the bank and there’s no need to wait for the check to come in the mail. Customers are billed electronically and directly from their bank account to yours. Additionally, ACH is a great alternative payment method as there are no cards involved and no memberships required. Anyone with a bank account can pay through First ACH.
Furthermore, consider that our transportation service has deployed a private label/gift/loyalty card program such as Swipe & Ride. Though drivers and admin are free from dealing with paper vouchers and coupons for their sales, admin is still responsible for invoicing and submitting transactions to the bank for payment. Not with First ACH! Why have the convenience of Swipe & Ride’s paperless payments system, robust reporting tools, and web-based management tools, when you still have the archaic steps of mailed invoices and hand delivered checks to the bank? Go electronic, and go with the simplicity and convenience that First ACH has to offer.
