E-Check payments allow you to securely accept payments directly from a customer’s bank account through SmartMoving, using our payment partner, Remedy Payments. This payment method is ideal for larger transactions and offers a cost-effective alternative to credit cards.

What Are E-Check Payments?

E-Check payments (electronic checks) let customers pay using their bank routing and account numbers instead of a credit card. Payments are processed digitally through ACH networks and follow standard banking rules.

In SmartMoving, E-Check payments are fully integrated across opportunities, invoices, storage accounts, and QuickBooks syncing


Why Enable E-Check Payments?

E-Check payments offer several advantages:

  • Lower processing fees than credit cards

  • Secure, bank-verified transactions

  • Better support for large payments and deposits

  • A seamless experience across the web app, customer portal, and Crew App
