An eCheck is a payment that withdraws money directly from a checking account. An eCheck is a type of electronic funds transfer (EFT) that uses the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to move money from one account to another. eChecks are convenient for buyers because the money is withdrawn from their accounts automatically. For sellers, eChecks are appealing because they are typically processed quickly and have lower fees than credit card transactions. eChecks are sometimes also called ACH transfers. The main difference between an eCheck and a regular check is that an eCheck is processed electronically, while a regular check is processed through the banking system. Regular checks can take several days to clear, while eChecks are usually processed within one or two days. Another difference is that eChecks can be processed without a paper check ever changing hands, while regular checks must be physically deposited or cashed. eChecks are also more secure than regular checks
