How important are check payments?

07-03-2006, 08:00 AM

Some time within the next year, we will be launching a new program, powered by nats or similar.. however, because we are in europe, mailing out checks is not such a great option (unless we get a third party to do it for us (any recommendations?))

epassporte and wire payments are no problem for us.. how important is it that we offer checks as a payment option for our webmasters?

Any input is welcome!

I don't mean for accepting memberships (that's no problem), I mean for issuing payments to affiliates.

I would probably suggest getting a third party to mail out checks, but it's up to you how you want to handle it. Best option would be to get a bank account in the US and use online billpay to a send the checks inside the US. It's generally free to do and no charge for postage. There will still be a few checks to mail outside the US, but it will cut down your costs.

Are wires not expensive for you in Europe, or are you planning on charging a fee?

I dont use epass because all I'd ever want to do is get the money into my bank account. Adding that layer of complexity between my money and my bank is just not worth it to me at this point.

Wires are convenient, but more expensive because both sponsor and my bank charge to receive it.

So, I'd want a paper check mailed to me for sure. Waiting a week for a check that I can just sign and deposit directly is well worth it.

Hi,

there are places out there that work with NATS and can send checks for you. Easy to use also! I can give you more info when you get NATS

Extremely. I would not promote a sponsor that didnt pay by check.

Half the fun of checks is figuring out which is from who!

Epass and wires are the way of the future... No one outside the US likes cheques.

As much as I like wires and EFT, I also don't like giving every sponsor my banking information. ePassporte is convenienet, but still, we see horror stories about them every day on here. For me, checks are the safest bet unless I trust a sponsor enough for EFT or wire.
