Morning Oprano!

I've posted this before, but I thought maybe some of you who are interested in how ACH compares to credit cards might like to see it.

Any numbers on how much better retention on checks is compared to cc's?

Colin,

I guess it depends on the merchant. I have no data on credit card retention, so I can only report what has been told to me by merchants, which is:

on the bulk of transactions the concensus is 1-2 months more.

then there are the recurrings that last for years, which they say occur far more with checks than with credit cards.

Maybe a few merchants can offer their experience.

I can!
I know that on PsychicWeb.com, checks recur on average 3-5 weeks LONGER than CC transactions!

Plus! I can tell you that WTS has merchants with members that are STILL being billed after almost 4 years! ;-)))

Gotta love it!


Recur 'em LONGER!

Wig you should also post that in the Newbie section.

Dianna,

Good idea. Consider it done. :)
