Taking the Lead in Facilitating Electronic Payments

Electronic payments processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, including Direct Deposit, Direct Payment and check conversion will save your company or organization time and money, while improving the satisfaction of your employees and customers. These three ACH applications are implemented via the same secure system used by governments and financial institutions to move money worldwide. This site was created to help you understand how, when, and why your business or organization should be using ACH-based electronic payments.

Nearly 14 billion ACH payments wree made in 2005, a 16% increase over 2004. ACH volume has doubled in the last 5 years.

We also offer resources to help businesses understand why ACH is important, how to educate employees and customers about the benefits of ACH-based electronic payments, and how to use marketing and promotional tools to assist in these efforts. If you are running a small business or non-profit organization, we also provide material tailored to your needs.

Please explore the resources on this site, and then contact your financial institution to get started using ACH applications.
