How Does ACH Work?

Direct Deposit allows you a safe and convenient way to pay your employees, wherever they may bank.

Pre-Authorized Payments electronically collects money from your customers.

Tax Payments allows you to pay both federal and state taxes electronically. Once you have signed up with the Internal Revenue Service or your state tax agency, you simply begin initiating your payments. Our deadline for receiving your files, batches and entries is weekdays at 6 p.m. CST, excluding holidays.

Same-day ACH Originations allow you the ability to expedite payments or collections requiring same-day receipt for single transactions $1,000,000 or less at a fraction of the cost of a domestic wire transfer. Same-day ACH also provides you with a contingency option for emergency payrolls and missed payment deadlines. Federal and international payments are currently ineligible to be processed by the ACH Network.
