Boosted by more all-electronic payments, total automated clearing house network transaction volume grew 4.2% in 2012 to nearly 16.8 billion transactions from 16.1 billion the prior year, ACH governing body NACHA reported Wednesday. The value of ACH payments increased 8.8% to $36.9 trillion.

Annual financial loss due to crimes being committed is 3.5 trillion per IBM research. A lot of this is due to the dinosaur ACH platform.

Q&A with Ed Starrs:

17) MyECheck appears to work the same as Debit (in that it transfers money from checking accounts), but it is significantly cheaper and faster. Is the Debit card market one that you intend on pursuing? Is it possible to have a MyECheck ‘debit card’ which would then create a virtual check and be facilitated by your patented technology?

A) Debit card transactions are processed through the Visa/MC or ATM networks, with their fees, limitations and rules. MyECheck creates and processes checks just as if it was originally a paper check, but in essentially real time. This is dramatically different than debit card services. Our service provides access to every checking account in the US, not just those tied to a specific card network. The user doesn’t need a card or any hardware to pay using MyECheck, just a checking account.

We are targeting market share of the $44 Trillion check industry with a unique patented service, this industry has different customers and is a better fit for us than the $1 Trillion over saturated debit card industry.

However, a MyECheck customer or licensee hosting a virtual or mobile wallet with MyECheck as the account funding method could issue a debit card to draw or spend those funds in the wallet, but it is unlikely MyECheck will need to offer this type of payment service itself.
