electronic checks

Online bank transfers

Electronic checks are digital versions of traditional paper checks, allowing payment directly from a bank account through electronic networks rather than physical processing.

The payer authorizes the transaction online or by phone, and funds transfer between accounts electronically.

Also called e-checks or echecks.

The utility company accepts electronic checks for monthly payments.
