Process direct bank transfers securely

ACH Payments enable cashiers to initiate direct debits and credits from customer bank accounts, providing a reliable alternative to card transactions. This function integrates seamlessly with your existing accounting system to ensure accurate reconciliation of funds. By automating the transfer process, businesses can reduce manual entry errors and streamline their payment collection workflow. The system supports both standard and same-day ACH processing options, giving you flexibility based on customer needs and business requirements.

Cashiers can initiate ACH transactions directly from the Point of Sale interface, allowing customers to pay via their registered bank accounts without needing a physical card.

The system automatically generates payment authorization forms and sends them electronically, ensuring compliance with banking regulations while reducing paper usage in your store.

Settlement times vary by transaction type, but funds typically clear within one to three business days, providing predictable cash flow management for your team.
