ARC

Accounts Receivable Conversion, or ARC, is a single-entry debit against a customer’s checking account. ARC allows merchants to collect payments received in the mail or left in a drop-box, and convert them to an electronic payment later. Payment authorization is obtained by posting required notices before accepting a customer’s check.

Note: The type of eCheck.Net transactions you are permitted to submit depends on the underwriting of your eCheck.Net account. For more information about eCheck.Net transaction types, see the eCheck.Net Operating Procedures and User Guide. In addition, the payment processing associations that regulate electronic check transactions require that you have the appropriate payment authorization from the customer. Make sure you have the appropriate evidence of authorization from the customer before submitting an eCheck.Net transaction to the payment gateway. For details about how to obtain an appropriate authorization for each eCheck.Net type, see the eCheck.Net Operating Procedures and User Guide.
