What is the Automatic Clearinghouse (ACH)?
The ACH is a national network that processes financial transactions electronically for individuals, businesses, and government entities. For example, if you receive your paycheck via direct deposit, that’s ACH. Online billpay, direct payments, and electronic checks are other common examples of ACH.
Are ACH Payments Safe?
Yes, ACH payments are secure–bank account numbers are kept confidential when payments are processed through the clearinghouse. In contrast to paper checks, which display sensitive information and can be lost or stolen, ACH payments are generally considered more secure than other payment options. If an unauthorized ACH payment does come out of your business bank account, you have 60 days to report the issue and recover your funds.
