How do you make a payment by e-check?

Electronic checks, or e-checks, are a simple and reliable way to pay invoices and bills online or by phone, according to Zoom.com. E-checks are a popular, convenient and secure bill payment alternative to credit and debit cards.

Payment by e-check requires you to enter all the information traditionally found on a paper check. To complete a successful e-check transaction, you will need your routing number, bank account number and the name of the account holder. Like traditional paper checks, e-checks may take a few days to process, so make sure you record the transaction in your check ledger as a pending deduction.
