For auto dealers, one crucial aspect often raises concerns – accepting checks for down payments. To ensure a sale, you want to provide customers with flexible payment options. This is where CrossCheck's Auto Industry RDC Solution (C.A.R.S.) program comes into play. C.A.R.S. is a suite of check guarantee solutions, which allows auto dealerships to accept checks for down payments without the risk of not getting paid.

There’s an old saying in business, “Nothing happens until somebody makes a sale!” This is true, of course, and so is this corollary: “Nothing happens with cash flow until the building materials customer pays the bill.” Cash flow is the lifeblood of the building materials industry. Sometimes a business with a full order book and a large accounts receivable position will be forced to close its doors because there wasn’t enough cash on hand to pay the bills that are due now.
