Cherry Hill, NJ, 1992: Electronic Credit Services is born with this simple idea in mind. Merchants should have access to the newest technology as it becomes available. Unlike industry behemoths and local banks that merchants traditionally go to in order that they can accept credit cards, ECS decided that they would not force their customers to use old technology just because they could.

Merchants have the right to new technology

Going on 10 years old, ECScards has met the challenge we put to ourselves back in 1992. Today, our merchants have access to a wide variety of products and services. Besides being able to use the newest terminals, and the newest software, our merchants can use gift cards, phone cards, EBT (electronic foodstamps), ATM machines, electronic check verification and conversion, and will soon be able to accept smart cards, many with the terminal they already own.

Electronic Fund Transfers & Electronic Billing

Presented with the need to easily collect moneys owed to us, ECScards formed our daughter company, Electronic Billing Services. EBS quickly grew to become a simple, efficient way for those who bill the same people every month (repetitive billing), or even those who need to bill a large group of people just once or twice to do just that, while cutting down on their bookkeeeping, mailing, and time costs.

What the Future Holds

As ECScards moves forward in the new millenium, many new ideas are brewing in the industry. Smart cards top the list, with a standard being decided on as you read this, and widespread availability shortly thereafter. After that, who knows. But rest assured, whatever technology creates, ECScards and Electronic Billing Services will be right there at the front of the line to support them.
