May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Cash Received by EFT  Companies encourage customers to use EFT for the following reasons: 1.EFTs cost less than receiving cash payments through the mail. 2.EFTs enhance internal controls over cash since the cash is received directly by the bank without any employees handling cash. 3.EFTs reduce late payments from customers and speed up the processing of cash receipts.
