The ACH or Automated Clearing House is a government regulated entity that receives instructions from Banks to transfer funds electronically from one account to another. The transfer is accomplished through the banks "FedLine". There are some private companies with their own "FedLine" but by and large a bank is "connected" to the ACH. Banks traditional offered only their large clients with large deposits the ability to use the ACH network. This gave rise to the "Third Party Processor". The TPP developed more user friendly and powerful front end tools (software/Internet ASP) that would enable businesses of any size to realize the benefits of ACH processing. Much of the growth in the ACH volume can be attributed to the TPP.

There are many Third Party ACH Processors. How do you know you are working with a legitimate, reliable provider? Ask questions like:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • How many transactions per month are you processing?
  • Who are some of your "name" clients?
  • What kind of front end (software/Internet Virtual Terminal) tools are available?
  • Can you demo the products? (What good is a tool if you don't know how to use it?)
  • If you are looking to integrate can you get their API and talk with tech support?
  • How does support work?
