Deposit to E-C-Q account
Deposit to an E-C-Q© holding account and settle at a predetermined time. This reduces service charges for settlement.

If a merchant opens an E-C-Q© holding account funds are deposited directly to that account as soon as the purchase is made. The merchant provides E-C-Q with specific settlement instructions and E-C-Q follows those instructions.

E-C-Q's Partial Payment Plan
This service is unique to E-C-Q. When a customer writes a cheque they can choose to pay 60,70,80 or 90% right away and hold back the difference until the goods have been received and accepted. With this option comes Mediation Insurance which provides for assistance to resolve differences between the customer and merchant. Registered merchants can predefine how much hold back is allowed on their cheque before the customer writes it. By allowing Partial Payment the merchant will build trust with the customer. It shows the merchant has faith in their product.

The Partial Payment option builds the customers confidence because they know that help will be available if there are any problems that cannot be resolved.
