How are E-checks and electronic fund transfers (EFTs) similar in the way they process transactions?

Both e-checks and EFTs can transfer money directly between bank accounts. An e-check sends payment electronically using account information, while EFT is a broader term for electronic transfers of funds. They do not necessarily require a physical card or have identical fees, and they can often be initiated outside bank working hours.
