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.
"We applaud Cyclone’s ability to quickly
understand and capitalize on the many benefits we
offer," says Steve Roderick, Founder and President of
paymentAccess, adding, "We are confident that our
product will very quickly return numerous benefits to
Fastcheck Network customers and its merchants."
