[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use e-checks for rent (our landlord gets an email, puts in their info, and they immediately get the deposit) and e-checks for anyone else willing to use it, but surprisingly most people prefer a paper check. Even providers who run a home business mostly online seem to prefer paper checks. Whatever, it's all the same to us, except it wastes paper. [/quote]echelon can be a hassle. I had someone pay me with one once and I entered all my bank info multiple times and the system wouldn't accept it. I know for a fact it was correct and I banked with a major bank at the time. The person who sent it to me didn't believe I couldn't access the funds because it was immediately deducted from their account. I had to wait a couple of weeks to get paid and it was a hassle.

I haven't had anyone complain of that, but we're always willing to pay via paper check for those who prefer it. One provider told me she considers the bill paid once she's holding the check vs if it's just an email sitting in her inbox that we've sent, she feels like our exchange/agreement isn't complete. It was a psychological thing, no problems with the service, at least on her end. To us, the balance on our account is updated more quickly with an e-check than with a papercheck, so it's quicker and keeps our accounts more accurate, but of course we do whatever the service provider wants. It's their business. [/quote]
