What Is An ACH Transaction?

Managing bills, subscriptions, and recurring payments can feel like a full-time job. Miss a deadline and you’re hit with fees or a sudden service shutoff. 

Enter ACH payments—the set-it-and-forget-it way to handle payments. Whether you’re a business owner looking to streamline collections or a consumer tired of logging into six different portals every month, ACH might be your new best friend.

So, What Exactly Are ACH Payments?

This is an agreement that lets a business automatically withdraw payments from a customer’s bank account, with their permission, of course. It works like magic for recurring payments (think utility bills, subscriptions, rent) and can even handle amounts that change month-to-month.

You authorize once. Payments happen automatically. Everyone wins.

How It Works

It’s as simple as 1-2-3:

  • Authorize – The customer gives the green light by signing a digital or paper form.
  • Collect – The business initiates payments based on the agreed schedule.
  • Process – Funds move securely from the customer’s bank to the business.
