Movers are saving thousands by adding this one payment option...
You wrap up a big move, send the invoice, and the customer asks, “Can I pay with my card?”
Sure. It’s fast, familiar, and easy. Credit cards work great for small jobs or quick payments. But for bigger moves and commercial clients, those processing fees? They’re eating into your profit.
Here’s where most moving company owners get it wrong: they assume eChecks (ACH payments) are just another form of digital payment with the same high fees.
That assumption is costing you.
Myth: eChecks come with credit card fees
Since both are digital, it’s easy to lump eChecks and cards together. But they run on completely different rails.
Credit card payments go through card networks—Visa, Mastercard, Amex—and bring 2-4% in fees. eChecks, on the other hand, run through the ACH (Automated Clearing House) network. That’s a direct bank-to-bank transfer with a fraction of the cost.
No card networks. No markup. Just secure payments at a flat or ultra-low rate, often under 1%.
Truth: eChecks are built for big-ticket moving jobs
If you’re a residential or commercial mover regularly invoicing $1,000+ per job, those card fees add up fast. eChecks are the smarter play for high-value moving company payments:
- $5,000 move at 3% card fee = $150 gone
- Same move via eCheck = only $35
That’s money back in your pocket, job after job.
Why every moving company should offer eChecks
Adding eChecks doesn’t mean ditching cards. It means offering both—and choosing the right tool for the job.
With eChecks, you get:
- Lower costs on every large transaction
- Faster payments, no waiting for paper checks
- Secure processing through trusted ACH networks
- More flexibility for customers, especially business accounts
And when integrated with your SmartMoving platform via Remedy, it’s seamless.
No extra systems. No headaches. Just more profit per job.
