Check Guarantee and Financial Protection for Auto Dealers

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. It includes RDC (Remote Deposit Capture) and Multiple Check, which lets the customer write up to four checks to be deposited at agreed upon intervals. Also included is Check on Delivery, which is especially valuable to the service department as dealerships can pre-approve payment of delivered parts orders.

Check Verification vs. Check Guarantee

If you've ever wondered about the difference between check verification and check guarantee services, then imagine this scenario: a customer presents you with a check to pay for goods or services rendered. Whether you’re in the finance department of an auto dealership; a veterinarian caring for a sick dog; or a heavy equipment dealer receiving payment from a contractor building a new apartment complex, the payment you receive is crucial to the continued success of your business. You inherently trust the person giving you the check but you’d like to know – to whatever extent possible – that the funds will reach your bank account without any trouble. Trust…but verify, which is the very reason that check verification and check guarantee services exist.
