Electronic Cash Systems (ECS) was established in September 1997 by Fadi Cheikha and his wife, Kim, with a mission to offer payment processing services to local merchants. ECS started out providing ATM, credit and debit card, check, and ACH processing. Serving their community was their primary commitment from the start of its operations. The company, over the years, has expanded its services to include a host of payment processing needs for any size and type of business. ECS provides its customers with various payment alternatives and aims to equip businesses with up-to-date processing technology at economical prices. ECS also emphasizes having strong, individual relationships with clients, with every merchant being assigned the care and service required to be successful.

Payment Services by ECS

Contactless

ECS provides contactless payment options that enable customers to make fast and secure payments without the use of a physical wallet. With well-known "tap-to-pay" methods such as Apple Pay®, Google Pay®, and Samsung Pay®, companies can process more customers with greater efficiency, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. These mobile payment features provide transactional convenience, increased hygiene, and better security, all while decreasing checkout wait times. Transactions are completed in less than two seconds, boosting overall efficiency.

By embracing contactless payments, companies can distinguish themselves from their competitors, receiving increased traffic, repeat business, and loyal clients, ultimately increasing profit margins. The mobile payment solutions offered by ECS not only satisfy the demand for convenience in today's marketplace but also include an additional security layer.

In contrast to the older magnetic stripe or EMV chip payment methods, mobile payments generate a single-use encrypted code for every transaction, limiting the potential for fraud. Full card numbers are never retained, keeping sensitive information secure. Moreover, merchants also enjoy lower liability and lower fees due to the added security capabilities of NFC cards and mobile wallets. ECS contactless payment solutions assist organizations in remaining competitive while ensuring customers enjoy a hassle-free and secure payment experience.

Integrations

ECS offers smooth integration solutions with the major payment gateways and accounting platforms, allowing businesses to gain access to the safest and most efficient tools on the market. ECS integrates with major payment processors like NMI, Authorize.net, BridgePay, and several others, providing a secure and adaptable payment solution for global businesses. This allows merchants to seamlessly accept payments without disrupting their operations and maintaining safety.

Further, ECS provides QuickBooks Online integration, one of the most popular accounting software widely used by millions of small businesses across the world. Businesses can automate data entry, monitor funds, and also obtain important financial performance insights by integrating ECS payment systems with QuickBooks. The integration makes bookkeeping easier and provides real-time information, which is accurate and also saves business time.

ECS also provides seamless API and Point-of-Sale (POS) integrations, enabling companies to consolidate all their platforms for easier operations. The POS integrations streamline the payment processing, management of inventory, and overall management of a business into one easy-to-use system. Through these integrations, ECS enables businesses of any size or sector to become more efficient and functional while still providing a seamless experience for business owners and customers alike.

Security

ECS simplifies PCI compliance for businesses in an easy and hassle-free manner, taking them through the entire process. Businesses can rest assured that they comply with all PCI compliance requirements with the help of ECS's experienced merchant services team. ECS offers simple guidelines and single-point support, facilitating businesses in dealing with the intricacies of protecting sensitive payment data. Furthermore, ECS's internal operations are conducted under state-of-the-art security features, keeping all data secure from security threats.

ECS also provides businesses that accept contactless payments with stronger security features. Contactless payments are tokenized and encrypted, providing an added layer of protection for cardholders. Contactless payments minimize fraudulent activity risks, enabling businesses to reduce their liability.

For additional peace of mind, ECS's virtual terminal also encrypts and tokenizes all sensitive card data. After entering sensitive account or card information, a specific token is created per transaction that is unique to that one alone, so sensitive information is never revealed. With all these top-notch security features in play, ECS provides businesses with the ability to securely process transactions in safety for both company and customers alike.
