ACH

Overview

ACH is the most popular, and highly used payment network known for being cost effective for electronic payments. Typically, they take 1-2 days to settle. ACH payments are exchanged in NACHA-formatted files. NACHA sets the rules and guidelines for the processing of ACH payments. ACH APIs are becoming popular due to their ability to integrate into a variety of systems for automation of manually intensive payments. Finzly Connect APIs give access to the ACH network.
