PETALUMA, Calif. – CrossCheck, Inc., a leading provider of check guarantee and electronic check processing services to the building supply industry, has been named the preferred payment guarantee company for the Michigan Lumber and Building Materials Association (MLBMA). Check processing programs including Standard Check Guarantee, Remote Deposit Capture Plus and Multiple Check will be available to the association members.

Check processing programs from CrossCheck benefit building supply businesses by providing guarantee on check payments, streamlined check processing and payment flexibility through Multiple Check (hold check) acceptance. Businesses can accept and authorize checks using their existing payment terminal, by phone or by Internet at the CrossCheck website, reducing the need to invest in equipment. The Remote Deposit Capture Plus service electronically processes checks with a PC and check imager, eliminating trips to the bank.

"Check guarantee programs provide real value to building materials suppliers by reducing payment risk on large transactions and enabling sales through services such as Multiple Check and COD," said J. David Siembieda, CrossCheck President and CEO. "We are pleased to be working with the MLBMA members."

"We look forward to having CrossCheck as our preferred vendor for check guarantee services. Our members can benefit by continuing to accept checks from their customers with less worry and provide them with payment flexibility simultaneously,” said Scott Williams, MLBMA President.
