Canada EFT Companies

Canada EFTUtilizing Canada EFT Companies is the easiest and most cost effective solutions to managing Canadian ACH, allowing businesses based in Canada to debit checking accounts for one-time or recurring payments. Funds must be collected and settled in the same denomination because cross border payments are unavailable .  A Canadian bank account to settle funds into is a necessity for any United States based company looking to debit Canadian customers.

There is a relatively low number of Canada EFT Companies compared to the number of ACH processing providers available in the United States,  A small number of banks are in charge of the payments sphere, making options limited, and making it difficult to gain access to Canada EFT processing.

A single system capable of managing both U.S. and Canadian e-check transactions, and reporting data for reconciliation leads to increase customer acquisition tool and more revenue. Integrate Canada EFT to automate payment collection and reconciliation processes, either as an independent application or concurrently with a U.S. ACH processing solution.
