Predictably fast ACH payments
ACH payments can feel like a black box. They can take several business days to complete and it’s unclear when funds will be available.
We offer same-day ACH, submit at every Fed window, and provide robust settlement tracking. This means that your payments can arrive in less than 24 hours—often even quicker.
