Disambiguation
Perhaps the editor who placed this text within the article can create a new article instead and create a disambiguation article as well:


 * "ECheck" is a Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation computer system for Internet validation by Federal Firearm Dealers (FFL) of a buyers "ability" to purchase a firearm. Most dealers use a phone call to give the FBI National Instant Check System (NICS) ID information from the ATF Form 4473 that you fill out at the gun store.  They receive back a YES or NO or delay answer.  Yes you can buy the firearm or NO you can't or Maybe you are someone who is not allowed.  They (NICS) people have to check with local authorities (who may be busy) to find out the results of an arrest or warrent or court order. If they don't get back to the FFL within three days the FFL can make the sale.  ECheck can speed up the process using direct entry of the ID information with less chance for transcription errors.

Content needed
At the risk of stating the obvious... more content is needed here! At the very least, an explanation of how a digital "signature" replaces the written signature (on a paper check) would be very helpful, as well as an explanation of the process the user goes through to acquire such a digital "signature".

USA E-Check
In the US "E-Check" is the same as ACH transfer, FWIW.

Article Title
The title of this page should be changed to Electronic Check. The word e-Check is the slang approach to the word. It would be similar to the article Electronic Commerce, which is not named e-Commerce.
