Most small business owners and employers are turning to ACH payments instead paper check payments because of the ease and instant access the ACH network provides. ACH transactions provide a quick and easy way to pay employees, submit and retrieve tax returns, and automatically control your finances within 1-2 businessdays.
It’s like a direct deposit from one account to another, but unlike wire transfers, they are not subject to a fee by the processing banks. Many businesses prefer ACH credit payments for paying suppliers or vendors, especially when the amounts vary or when the payments are made irregularly. Health insurance and premiums.
The bank then packages this request into a digital file, which gets sent to an ACHoperator. This operator acts like a middleman, making sure everything is in order and routing the payment to the right place. This whole process usually takes one to two businessdays. One of the main advantages is cost.
First of all, ACH payments are a lot cheaper than, for example, wire transfers. One wire transfer can cost you even up to $25 to send – and that’s only within the United States. International wire transfers increase the costs even more. An ACH payment, on the other hand, costs less than a dollar to process.
