<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font size="2">Merchants
who accept echeck payments for their business needs a service or a
program that will enable them to verify each check before accepting
them. This program is what we call a check guarantee. A check
guarantee is a type of insurance that charges a fee in exchange for
the service of paying a merchant on returned checks. Having this kind
of program will help you avoid having to worry about accepting checks
or collecting unreturned checks.</font></font>

<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font size="2">Check
guarantee verifies each check before it is accepted. A check
writer/reader or terminal will be used to determine if the check
writer has any outstanding unpaid bad checks. If the check writer has
no outstanding unpaid checks, check guarantee will issue an approval
or authorization number that will guarantee payment for the check.
This service is not free. It is usually the same cost as that of a
credit card acceptance service but some providers offer it for a
lower price. </font></font>
