About AmeriNet
AmeriNet offers a suite of alternative payment processing services. The emphasis is on total management of the payment process, including the errors and exceptions generated by the banking system and other vendors. Simply put, the merchant transmits the payment to AmeriNet, we translate, repair or reject it, process it, track it and provide reporting and settlement to the merchant, and notification to the fulfillment center that the order is paid and ready for shipment. Our specialty is Electronic Check processing, commonly known as eChecks.
AmeriNet's eCheck Service utilizes the Automated Clearing House (ACH) to facilitate electronic funds transfers (EFT) between consumers and merchants. The ACH network permits debit or credit transactions from virtually any U.S. bank account. In addition to the terms of AmeriNet's agreement with the merchant, the ACH system and all transactions facilitated through it are governed by the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) Operating Rules, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq), and Regulation E (12 C.F.R. part 205) as set forth by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors
