Top 5 Check Guarantee Companies
Operating a company that entails accepting checks from customers can be unsettling with the uncertainty that comes with the potential of receiving bad checks. Check guarantee companies act as a type of insurance for merchants. A merchant pays a nominal fee to the check guarantee company in exchange for the service of paying them on any returned checks. The fee paid to the check guarantee company is a percentage on all checks that they accept, and a per-item transaction fee.
