Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is a digital payment method that moves funds electronically between bank accounts without the need for paper transactions. Common EFT types include direct deposits, ACH transfers, wire transfers, and electronic checks, making it a versatile option for both personal and business transactions. EFTs are commonly used for payroll deposits, bill payments, and online purchases, offering a secure, efficient, and paperless way to handle payments. EFT transactions are regulated to ensure security and compliance, making them a popular choice for fast, automated payments.
EFTs are increasingly replacing paper checks and cash, with global EFT transactions expected to grow by 10% annually due to the rise of digital banking and e-commerce. Example: A mid-sized utility company switched to EFT for bill payments, reducing processing costs by 30% and providing customers with a convenient, automated payment option. Insight: Research shows that businesses using EFTs for payroll and vendor payments experience up to 60% faster processing times compared to paper-based payments, reducing operational costs and improving cash flow. Additionally, EFTs offer enhanced security and a lower risk of fraud, making them a preferred choice for businesses of all sizes.
