Check Guarantee prevents loss!

Is this check any good? 

Are you getting burned by bad checks?  Advanced Merchant Solutions, Inc. (the parent company of merchantanywhere.com is proud to announce the introduction of the CrossCheck Check guarantee system for its merchants.  Check Guarantee is VERY different from ACH.  ACH is only a request for funds, and it can come back, days later, NSF (Non-sufficient Funds), Account closed, or payment stopped.  When a check comes back this way, you have been BURNED!

CrossCheck, Inc. is simply the best check guarantee system available, and it integrates completely with your existing Transaction Central virtual terminal and reporting system. Accept credit cards anywhere!


When you are out in the field, you can use any wireless Palm OS 3 or 4 compatible PDA to get an immediate check authorization from the powerful CrossCheck™ check guarantee service! You can enter the information with your stylus, or you can use the Pocket Merchant™ or SideSwipe™ magnetic card readers to take the information right off the magnetic strip on the back of their driver's license (specific states only, look on the back of your license for a black stripe to see if your state has this feature). NOTE: Some Drivers Licenses that deviate from the AAMVA standard may not read properly, and require input via the stylus.

Guarantee checks in Transaction Central! Once your CrossCheck account has been set up, we will add a CrossCheck button to your Transaction Central account.  All you need to do, is press this button, enter the check number (it must be over 100, and cannot be a starter check), enter the amount (this must
be over one dollar), and the check writer's license number and state of issue.

Note: You can accept State issued Driver's Licenses as well as State-issued Identification cards with this system. You can also use a Military ID (active) using State Code "MP", or insure a company check using the listed company phone number with the state code "PH"

You can use any touch tone telephone to guarantee your checks!  Easy as 1-2-3! Call the number, follow the prompts, and write the confirmation on the check! When asked to enter the State Code, use the table below. You can use Code "55" to denote a business check, and you will use the business phone number as the ID. In addition, for our men and women in our Armed Services, you can use "66" as the State Code, and their Military ID number.
