Accepting checks is essential to your business; however, with the customer convenience of accepting checks, comes the inherent risk to your business.
Americans write many checks to pay for goods and services and between 1-3 percent of those checks will bounce. If your business uses traditional collection methods, you may recover only 40 percent of funds from checks that have been returned due to non-sufficient funds (NSF).
Re$ubmitIt® recovery service utilizes proven RCK (electronic re-presentment) technology to help you collect more money from NSF checks, while you spend less time and resources on the collection process. With Re$ubmitIt®, bad check collection is no longer such a burden.
Any business that accepts checks, regardless of the number of bad checks it receives, can use Re$ubmitIt.
RCK, or Re-presentment Check Entry, is the process of converting a returned paper check into an electronic item and re-submitting it to the check writer’s bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.

In the event a returned check is not eligible for collection via RCK, or those efforts have been exhausted, Re$ubmitIt® can provide secondary collection efforts for you if you desire. However, if you choose not to use their additional service, Re$ubmitit will provide the returned check back to you for additional collection efforts.
