Mobile check cashing services are a powerful profit engine that not only creates new revenue streams for your store but indirectly accelerates existing revenue streams too.
Direct Revenue from Check Cashing Fees –
For every check cashed at your store, you can charge a processing fee. It provides customers with a convenient way to make payments while generating instant income. If you process 20 checks daily at $5 per check, that’s an additional $3,000 per month in pure profit.
Boosted In-Store Sales –
80% of customers who cash a check from a store spend a portion of it in the store. Stores can use the increased foot traffic to increase sales for your business. This is a good opportunity to cross-sell other services like bill payments too.
Operational Ease
Store owners don’t need to worry about handling the complexity of financial services. Mobile check cashing software eliminates the majority of operational headaches and challenges.
Fast, Secure Transactions –
Unlike traditional banking systems, customers get instant access to cash, and stores receive guaranteed funds without any delay.
Simple to Use –
The software is user-friendly and requires minimal staff training, so your team can start cashing checks with ease.
Fraud Protection Built-In—
One of the biggest concerns store owners have is fraudulent checks. However, modern mobile check cashing platforms like SmartMobile are backed by extensive databases of consumers and check-maker networks, allowing you to verify checks before approval.
Customer Loyalty
Mobile check cashing services help you establish a strong foundation for your brand in your community. This add-on service enhances customer relationships and benefits your store in many ways in the long run.
Your Store Becomes Their “Go-To” Spot –

Mobile check cashing makes you the preferred choice for a majority of customers creating a loyal customer base around your store.
