Optional, Integrated Real-Time Check Verification Service

The Most Advanced Check Verification Service on the Market!
Can be used for ALL checks your company receives!

This is an optional service that may be added to your new or existing Vcheck account. Once added, all Vchecks created through our system - new, recurring or for a repeat customer - are automatically screened and verified in real-time - with details of the results kept in the Check Details file.

Additionally, the Virtual Terminal built directly into your Vcheck Control Panel allows you to run the same high-level check verification on ANY check that comes into your business - in the mail or dropped off in your office.

This unparalleled check verification service, provides online, real-time access to positive and negative account information, as well as, check level status. The service identifies items at the point-of-sale which assists in the elimination of potential fraud and reduces the likelihood of returning unpaid items.

What Verifications Are Made?

• Bad routing numbers (i.e., blacklisted TRN)

• Invalid checksums (i.e., check digit algorithm failures)

• Does the account exist?

• Is the account a demand deposit account (DDA)? (i.e., Is the account a checking account?)

• Is the account open and valid?

• Does the account allow electronic debits?

• Has a stop payment been ordered for the indicated transaction?

• Is this a "young account"?

• Does the account have a current non-sufficient funds (NSF) report against it?

To obtain this information and the corresponding responses, the process compares the customer account information against the data in up to four different databases

What Does It Cost?

This 4-Level check verification service will pay for itself the first time it shields you from accepting a bad check. Because this service is provided by an outside service provider, there are additional verification fees involved in addition to the normal annual fees you are paying for your Vcheck account.

Setup Fee: There is a one-time $40 setup fee for check verification accounts.

Monthly Fee: There is a $18 per month gateway fee.

Per Verification Fee: You just pay .50 (50 cents) for each verification. This includes the full 4-level verification. As mentioned above, every Vcheck that is created through your account will be automatically verified and the Virtual Terminal allows you to verify any check that comes into your business.

The complete schedule of fees appears on the left sidebar of this page.

While the service has been fully integrated into the Vcheck system, the setup and verification fees will be charged to you directly by the service provider.
