Momentum Payment Systems Announces Check 21 Capability Update to Clear Charge POS Software

Momentum Payment Systems is proud to announce the Check 21 capability update to its feature POS software, Clear Charge.

Addison, Texas (PRWEB) June 29, 2009 -- Momentum Payment Systems, www.MomentumPayments.com, a full service electronic payment processing provider, recently announced the roll out of a major update to Clear Charge, its feature point of sale software. Check 21 capabilities are built into the auto-update feature that began implementation for Momentum Payment Systems merchants this month.

Clear Charge is POS software that, when installed on any computer, enables it to become a fully-functioning payment processing terminal. Clear Charge can process credit, debit, checks, EBT and gift and loyalty cards. Clear Charge is PCI and PED compliant because it does not store cardholder data on the machine through utilization of host data capture.

Check 21, also known as the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, was enacted in October 2004 and allows checks to be deposited electronically and scanned to capture the image, which speeds up fund transfers and makes accepting checks more secure.

With the newest update Clear Charge becomes Check 21 capable with a Check Imager. Utilizing USB RDM 7000i Clear Charge enables dual-side images so merchants can easily retain a copy of both the front and back of a check.

Clear Charge was also recently updated with multi-merchant capabilities. This enhancement makes it possible for Clear Charge to process up to 9 different merchant accounts on one system, convenient for multi-merchant locations.

Momentum Payment Systems is dedicated to ensuring merchants utilize the latest technology now and in the future. Momentum merchants who choose Clear Charge receive automatic updates on future enhancements included in their standard pricing. Currently, plans for future enhancements include internal reporting features providing daily, weekly and monthly reports for each separate payment category.

"Clear Charge has been an excellent cost-effective payment processing solution that meets the needs of our merchants," said John Crouch, Chief Information Officer. "We are proud to now incorporate Check 21 capabilities among Clear Charge's many useful functions."
