PowerPay Capital Funding – An introduction
Get easy access to working capital — to buy more media, boost inventory, launch new products and expand your business.
How it works – To qualify for funding you must be in business and processing credit cards for at least six months. Once you are approved, we will remit a small percentage of your daily Visa and MasterCard sales until the funding program is paid off. The percentage is based on the amount of capital you receive, the payment cycle of your product offer, the amount of sales your product generates, and the overall cash needs of your business.
Unlike other funding providers, PowerPay Capital's focus is on you – and the success of your Direct Response venture. With affordable terms and a more flexible payback schedule, we can help fund nearly any aspect of your business. Best of all, once your cash flow is sufficient to fund your media and expansion plans on your own, you can choose to stop using PowerPay Capital, or continue with additional funding to fuel even greater growth. Let us show you all the ways we can help your business succeed!
Product Highlight - E-check Direct
Paper checks are becoming a thing of the past as credit cards, debit cards and now e-checks become the norm. By using PowerPay's E-check Direct product, you’ll have access to your funds in as little as 48 hours!
How it works – a customer’s check information is entered, either by the customer online, an operator over the phone or through the mail. Individually or in daily batches, the payment is sent directly to the e-check processor for transmission via ACH to the customer’s bank account for debiting.
E-Check Direct enables you to:
- Verify checking account and routing numbers to minimize returned items
- Access a variety of easy-to-use online reporting tools
- View transaction status hourly, so you can respond to returned item issues and process billings as scheduled
- Administer recurring payments for auto-ship/continuity programs, and multi-pay offers
- Export transaction data into Excel
- Issue refunds and re-present returned items as ACH debits electronically
Do you need the power of E-Check Direct for your business?
It’s easy to get started. Let us show you how our E-Check Direct can mean more buying opportunities for your customers and more sales for you!
