How ACH Processing Works
-
Payment Initiation
A business, government agency, or consumer authorizes a bank transfer either by a push (sending money) or pull (receiving money) request.
-
Information Collection (ODFI)
The Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) collects the necessary transaction details, such as account numbers and routing information, ensuring accuracy.
-
Operator Verification
ACH operators, like the Federal Reserve, verify the details and route the transaction to the receiving bank.
-
Settlement
Funds are transferred between accounts, settling the payment in a fast and secure manner.
-
Returns
If there are any issues, the transaction can be reversed, with returns processed within 60 days.
