CUMMING - Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation (Sawnee EMC) is deploying a new payment option for its members called "e-Check". The ability to pay by e-Check, is now available whether a member pays online or through any of Sawnee EMC's other payment portals. <br />
<br />
"We heard from several of our members in a recent survey that they wanted the ability to pay online with an e-Check" said Blake House, Vice President of Member Service for Sawnee. "After looking into it, we saw this as an easy opportunity to meet a need; our staff jumped right on it because serving our members is job #1 around here" he adds. <br />
<br />
An e-Check works the same as a traditional "paper" check from a bank, credit union or other financial institution, except with an e-Check, the payment posts to the member's account much quicker. Also, since there is no actual paper check being mailed, the likelihood of forgery, fraud, and/or identity theft involving the check is virtually eliminated. <br />
<br />
Sawnee members will not be charged any fees for using the new payment option.<br />
<br />
Sawnee EMC announced last year that effective this year all convenience fees for on demand electronic payments had been eliminated.<br />
<br />
