STANDARD ACH

Streamlining Your Payment Operations

Collecting and disbursing payments is a critical piece of a business’s payment operations. From mid-sized businesses to large corporations, every business can benefit from streamlined payment processing technology.

Modern, automated payment operations unlock the full potential of payments by eliminating the need for legacy technology, traditional paper checks, manual processes and the hidden costs that come with them. Through the power of ACH and an updated payments platform, businesses can improve cash flow, account reconciliation and even profitability.

Lower Costs
In general, the costs of ACH come in much lower than other payment methods. When comparing the fees between credit cards and ACH payments, credit card payments have higher processing fees since they are typically calculated as a percentage of the transaction. ACH transactions can cost pennies to initiate and in some cases are free. Excluding cash transactions, ACH transactions have some of the lowest transaction fees.
Increased Security
Funds that are transferred directly to a verified bank account can be more secure. Credit cards have a high incidence of fraud, while the manual process around paper checks leaves room for human error and opens up the possibility for the check to be stolen during mailing.
Controlled Cash Flow
ACH transactions and, more specifically, ACH APIs, allow businesses to automate their manual payment processes that cost a lot of time and money. ACH APIs automate repetitive processes such as data entry, verification and confirmation of payments. No more processing, mailing and tracking paper checks as part of your payment operation.
“The time the team had previously used to manually process transactions was drastically reduced and there was no need to hire more personnel for other activities. Our manual workload decreased by 98% and the total time spent on transactions reduced by 80%—along with all of the errors that were prevented—thanks to automating ACH transactions.”
