Check Recovery - Powered by AMERICHECK

 

The AMERICHECK solution is simple, effective, and free! By law, the costs are passed on to the check writer. (Posted note on most check registers of fee) AMERICHECK can recover your returned checks at no cost to you and without investing the time and effort of your personnel. How? Simply authorize your bank to forward all returned checks directly to AMERICHECK. We contact the writer of each returned check using a program of persuasive letters and courteous telephone calls. With typical success rates of 80% or higher, we will recover the full face amount of the check and remit payment to you at the end of each month. We will also collect a service charge fee from the check writer which covers our fee. Our ability to electronically (and legally) represent the checks in a cost-effective manner significantly improves our recovery rates.

No contract is necessary, your organization retains complete control over your returned checks at all times - simply contact your bank and have the returned checks redirected back to your office if you are ever unsatisfied - you have nothing to lose. We understand the importance of retaining your customers. All recovery efforts are conducted with that in mind.

Retailers have trusted our experienced and trained staff to solve a common problem relating to the receipt of bad checks.  Our historical bad check recovery rates are in access of 87%.  Retailers receive 100% of the face value of the recovered check revenue while all service costs are transferred directly to the check writer.
