  4. Payment Systems • There are only 6 Payment Systems in the US and all methods of payments must travel through one of these systems: • Cash • Wire Transfer • Checking • ACH • Credit and Debit Card Systems (they are not the same) • There are many methods to make a payment today, such as: internet e-comm, bill pay, P2P, POS, telephone, mobile devices and many more now and to come.
