Converts Payday Loan Collateral Checks into Electronic Debit
Transactions;
Reducing Bank Interaction and Fees Assessed on the Business and
Consumer.
REPAY (Real-time Electronic Payments) is expanding the
distribution of its proprietary e-commerce solution to authorize
and convert checks electronically through an arrangement with
Teletrack Inc., a
subsidiary of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV), a
global risk mitigation and business solutions provider.
Teletrack, a consumer reporting agency that serves businesses
that cater to non-traditional credit consumers, will market the
REPAY solution to Teletrack's existing payday advance clients.
Teletrack's customers will learn more about REPAY's software
suite and innovative check processing solution through a series
of product education initiatives.
"Our solution adds value to payday advance providers by
accelerating the receipt of cash. If funds are available in the
account, the settlement of the check is immediate," said Shaler
Alias, president of REPAY. "Being able to convert a paper check
into an electronic payment and effecting immediate settlement
reduces the cost and risk of check acceptance as well as
administration expenses for the payday loan provider. Our
exclusive marketing relationship with Teletrack enables us to
distribute our REPAY solution via the most reputable, leading
risk management solutions provider serving the Payday market."
The REPAY solution provides benefits to the consumer as well.
The solution eliminates expensive penalties assessed by the bank
in the event there are insufficient funds available in the
account. Unlike the presentment of a physical check or ACH
debit, an unsuccessful REPAY transaction does not generate a
non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee for the consumer.
"REPAY provides a cost-effective solution for our clients that
are having difficulty determining the availability of funds
before submitting a collateralized check," said Dale Williams,
president of Teletrack. "This solution increases efficiency and
profitability while protecting consumers from costly overdraft
fees. It is a win-win for our clients and their customers."
Upon the due date, the REPAY solution converts a payday loan
customer's collateral check into a real-time debit transaction
via a POS terminal software application, which is then processed
via the VISA POS network. All that is required to utilize the
service is an Internet connection, REPAY Software and a check
scanner.
The REPAY solution is easily integrated into your current
business processes. Information about REPAY is available at
www.teletrack.com/repay.
