It processes inter-bank fund transfers through an automated system and usually completes the transfer within one business day without manual intervention. This payment method greatly improves the efficiency of transfers. At the same time, compared with international wire transfers, ACH transfers have lower fees and do not require SWIFT codes.

Operation steps of ACH transactions

ACH transactions are a payment method that transfers directly from one bank account to another. It is an efficient alternative to cash, paper checks or credit card payments. The specific operation steps are as follows:

Initiate ACH payment

Users first need to agree to initiate ACH transfers, which can be achieved by signing an ACH authorization form or recording a phone call. After authorization, users can set up one-time payments, recurring payments, or even series of payments on specific dates.

Receive ACH payments

After obtaining authorization, the bank account can electronically withdraw the agreed payment from the customer's account. Under the past rules, it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to complete the transaction, but under the new rules, some ACH transactions can be processed on the same day.

Notes

During the ACH payment process, you may encounter some common problems, such as payment return due to insufficient account funds. In order to ensure that the ACH payment is successful, it is necessary to confirm that there are sufficient funds in the customer's account. In addition, merchants also need to choose a reliable payment solution to ensure that each transaction can be completed smoothly.
