ACH and eCheck Payment Processing
Approximately 175 million Americans have a checking account. ACH Payments allow you to capture more initiated sales by enabling customers to pay the easiest way—directly through their bank accounts in a safe, secure, and simple process.
The Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) is an electronic payment delivery system that processes credit and debit transfers for institutions nationwide. ACH Payments are processed using a customer’s bank account information to deduct funds directly from a checking or savings account to pay for goods or services. It is a popular and efficient alternative to traditional credit card or paper check processing.
