Electronic Check Re-Presentment (RCK) allows corporations to simplify and improve their collection process for returned checks with insufficient funds. RCK converts paper checks returned as NSF into electronic checks processed through the Automated Clearing House, yielding higher recovery rates than collecting paper checks. RCK allows electronic checks to be re-presented up to three times, compared to just once for paper checks. It also saves time and money compared to traditional collection methods and allows payments to be timed to coincide with common paydays to boost recovery.
