There used to be a philosophy that Buy Here Pay Here industry was focused on selling to customers near the dealership so that every time they get paid, they will come and make a payment on their loan.

Those who live more than a 30 minute drive from the dealership will be more than likely to mail the payments and then the risk of the check being bounced, creating more troubles during the collection process, to the point that some BHPH dealers were no longer accepting checks.

Paper checks were the norm and for those who had bank accounts normally will have to cash those checks to make cash payments, those who didn’t have bank accounts will have to pay to have their checks cashed. Terms such as Debit Cards, Recurring Payments, ACH Processing were terms that were unheard of, but now things have evolved and those terms are understood and becoming more popular in the everyday life of this industry.

During the last decade, the internet has revolutionized many aspects of our lives including the way we pay our bills and do business; transactions and payments done online using either credit cards, debit cards or ACH payments have increased dramatically. The 2013 Federal Reserve Payment Study Detail Report shows, “The number of online bill payments reported by major processors, which included those initiated through online banking websites and directly through billers and settled over ACH, exceeded 3 billion in 2012. Secure online payments, including methods that allow users to enter personal identification numbers (PINs) for debit cards into the computer or that redirect users to use an Internet payment account, totaled more than 1.8 billion in 2012.”
