QuickTender Poker Sites
I’ve already discussed the Quicktender poker sites on the page I wrote about the Use-My-Wallet money transfer service, but I wanted to cover some of the same ground again for those who aren’t aware that Quick-Tender and UseMyWallet are the same company. That fact might cause confusion, so I’ll quickly discuss both.
What Is Quicktender?
Quicktender is an electronic cash transfer company, much like Neteller or Moneybookers. Quicktender’s cash transfer service is UseMyWallet. Since the UseMy-Wallet logo is found on most Internet poker sites using Quicktender’s services, UseMyWallet is in many ways more famous than the parent company itself. But the two represent one and the same financial entity.
Quicktender Poker Payments
This means that most of the famous and high-volume online poker sites you’ve run across uses Quicktender money services, and therefore it makes a lot of sense to open an account with Quick-Tender. I’ll focus on a limited number of websites which use the Quickfinder UseMyWallet option, though you should know there are dozens of others available. Having a smaller number lets me compare and contract and discuss each.
Quicktender Automated Clearing House
Now that I’ve reiterated some of the poker information I gave on the Use-My-Wallet page, let me take the extra space to discuss a few services Quicktender offers I might not otherwise have the chance to mention. The first of these is the “Automated Clearing House” or “ACH” money option.
ACH is a deposit option that lets you to deposit directly from your bank into the e-wallet service. You must have had an account with Quicktender for 30 days and made at least once debit or credit deposit to qualify for this service. Once you’re signed into this program, you’ll be one step closer to making instant payments online.
Instant Payment and Quicktender
“Instant payment” is something many online vendor want and seek. Most payment methods require a transfer of funds that takes several days, but they want their money immediately, just as you would. So they flock to cash transfer services that offer instant payments. The Automated Clearing House offers that service, but it’s a little complicated getting there.
The basic, entry-level of the ACH service is a “non-instant” service. Payments are made from your bank, but the banking information is not transferred to the operator or vendor. They don’t even know what bank you use, which gives you an additional layer of security.
Once you make five successful Automated Clearing House payments, you are eligible to enter Quicktender’s ACH instant pay program. At this point, you can input proper information to start making online payments instantly. That’s a huge advantage in many ways, whether it helps your online poker playing or not. If you’re like me, when you pay for something online, you want it at the house in a day or two, not after waiting 3-4 days for the money to transfer.
