April 21, 2007 (Bozeman, MT) Cyclone Software announced today that it has partnered with paymentAccess to offer a new check verification solution (using Cyclone software’s Fastcheck Network) for merchants taking telephone orders and/or offering delivery services. 

The solution allows a merchant to enter a customer's telephone number into paymentAccess and immediately verify the customer's check writing history and pre-authorize payment. Then, paymentAccess automatically accepts the check or credit card payment, eliminating the need for a delivery person to collect payment at the time of delivery. 

"Utilizing the Fastcheck Network, the paymentAccess on-demand payment operating system provides merchants the ability to authorize all checks, on a single platform, by telephone number, drivers license, state identification, check MICR information, regardless of bank or processor," says Mick Phillips, president of Cyclone Software. "This means that merchants in the service and delivery arena, such as pizza delivery companies, can preauthorize checks and collect payments before they deliver, which boosts the speed and safety of delivery," he adds, explaining this solution helps eliminate additional risks associated for merchants in accepting checks as a form or payment. 

paymentAccess is an on-demand payment operating system that collects, manages and moves money for businesses. Ideal for collection agencies, CPAs and all recurring billers, paymentAccess integrates seamlessly with any software, and connects to any bank or processor. Private-labeled for a user within 24 hours, and accompanied by complete marketing support, paymentAccess is a turnkey payment solution for any company seeking a new point of difference in a confusing time for checks and collections.
