Investopedia explains 'Check Conversion'

This service is popular with merchants because it allows them to clear the checks they get much more quickly. The quickness of the electronic format eliminates much or all of the time spent waiting for a traditional paper check to clear. Furthermore, electronic checks are always processed before paper ones. This service is also known as accounts receivable conversion.
