Tired of 3% Fees? Meet the Smarter, Faster Way to Get Paid

Written by Amber Muller | Dec 18, 2025 9:32:25 PM

Movers are tired of delays, fees, and clunky workflows around getting paid.

In our recent webinar, we broke down how SmartMoving’s E-Check—powered by Remedy Payments—cuts out the friction, lowers your costs, and helps you get paid faster.

Missed it? Here’s the recap.👇

 

Why E-Check payments matter now

Let’s face it—credit card payments come with:

  • High fees
  • Chargeback headaches
  • Customers balking at that extra 3%

E-Check is the simpler, cheaper alternative:

  • Lower processing fees
  • Predictable payout timing
  • Fewer disputes
  • Cleaner customer experience

But first—what is E-Check exactly? It's a direct electronic transfer from your customer’s bank account to yours. No paper. No waiting. No middle steps.

And with Remedy built into SmartMoving, it’s all in one platform—designed to make cash flow frictionless.

How it works in SmartMoving

Here’s the workflow from quote to cash:

1. Customer chooses E-Check at checkout

They enter bank details in a secure, mobile-friendly form. No logins, no hoops.

2. Funds go straight to your SmartMoving Payments account

You get full visibility into:

  • Payment status
  • Settlement timing
  • The exact job it’s tied to

3. Reconciliation is automatic

Every E-Check syncs with your reports and QuickBooks—no double entry, no manual matching, no “what job was this?” ever again.

What makes it reliable? Behind the scenes

This system stays rock-solid as your business grows:

  • Built on proven rails: Remedy processes over $1B annually—giving you the benefit of scale and serious fraud protection.
  • Bounce handling built-in:
    • We detect insufficient funds fast
    • Failed payments create automatic offset transactions
    • Your QuickBooks integration stays clean and accurate

This hit home—because we’ve all been burned by a check bouncing two weeks later.

The customer experience

We demoed the payment flow from your customer’s side. And the verdict was unanimous:

“That’s way easier than what we’re doing today.”

It’s mobile-first, friction-free, and gets your invoices paid faster—with fewer follow-ups.

And this is just the beginning

Our goal? Faster, cheaper, clearer cash flow for movers who want to run tighter operations.

Stay tuned—there’s more coming.
