What Does ACH Mean

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House. These are a type of payments similar to Electronic Funds Transfer (ETelCharge Services). These payments make the transaction of funds between US bank accounts easier than the paper-based methods that are traditionally used. This method of completing a transaction is also cheaper than the paper-based methods.

The term might seem unfamiliar to a layman but ACH processing has been around for 40 years being facilitated by the ACH network operated by Federal Reserve. This network is also regulated by the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). These regulations define the ways according to which interbank electronic payments are completed for the depositary financial institutions that are part of the network.
