Retail Merchant Accounts
A retail account is for any store, restaurant or business where the card is present and can be swiped at least 80% of the time. A signature is then obtained and kept on file.
Internet & ECommerce Merchant Accounts
An eCommerce account also known as Internet and online store, is similar to a Moto business in the sense that neither the card nor customer is present. Orders are placed directly on the web site via the use of a "shopping cart' and are processed in real-time or manually keyed into a credit card terminal or online processing software.
Mail Order & Telephone Order (Moto) Merchant Accounts
Moto stands for Mail Order Telephone Order. This account is for any type of business that accepts orders either over the telephone, or via mail. Neither the card nor customer is present, nor is the payment information keyed in manually.
Wireless Merchant Accounts
Accept credit cards virtually anywhere with a wireless account. Now there is no need to phone or key in payment information. Swipe the customer's card; get authorization and confirmation right on the spot. Pay the lower retail rate, and practically eliminate charge-backs.
Telephone Credit Card Processing Service (ARU)
Accept credit cards anywhere, your cell or touch tone phone can be your credit card terminal all you need is access to a phone, and you can accept credit card payments from anyone, anywhere, by dialing our toll-free number. The payment will be automatically deposited into your checking account in 24-48 hours.

The Federal Reserve and Electronic Payments Network act as ACH Operators, central clearing facilities through which financial institutions transmit or receive ACH entries.

Check Conversion
Converting checks to electronic debits or truncation as it is sometimes called is the process of converting checks at the point of sale to debits. This saves money and precious time. No more trips to the bank and no check return fees.
Many stores are utilizing this time and money saving service. The process is simple. Enter the check information on your terminal and a receipt is printed for your customer to sign. The customer's account information on the check is transmitted through the bank's ach service. The funds are transmitted to your account automatically. If you already have a credit card terminal all you need to add is a check reader or imager.
Check Guarantee

This service which is used by most retailers large and small is a vital part of the pos solution. What it does primarily is guard against check fraud.

The occasional one that does get through will be covered. All you need is a normal credit card terminal such as the ones pictured.
Check Verification
Does an analysis on the customer and examines prior check writing history.
Used by many retailers, this service checks a person's past history of writing checks. An analysis is performed on the individual to determine if you should accept their check. We look at age of account, frequency and size of recent checks, locations checks were written at, and several other factors. Our system is connected to the National Check Network which is a cooperative data base of most service providers. This is used to see if your customer has any outstanding unpaid checks. All this is done at a very reasonable cost.
ARC
Accounts Receivable Conversion. Used by stores to do in house financing. This is a great tool for merchants to up sell their customers. 1st Federal Financial has made it simple for the merchant to use and in most cases creates a new revenue stream for the store by imposing a flex pay fee.
