What is ACH Positive Pay?

ACH Positive Pay helps guard your business against unauthorized electronic activity. ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, which is a network that processes electronic payments. There are multiple benefits to using ACH Positive pay, such as:

• Payments are credited to your account so you won’t need to take checks to the bank
• ACH processing typically comes with fewer errors than collecting and depositing paper checks
• You can automate attempts to collect bad checks, so you won’t have to deal with the same check twice
