Streamline Your Business and Make it Easier on Your Clients with ACH Payments for B2B Companies

1. What is ACH Processing?

ACH is a network that facilitates the electronic transfer of funds among financial institutions in the United States. If you offer direct deposit to your employee wages, you’re using ACH. Since 1974, the ACH network has grown into the backbone of the United States’ transaction processing system. At nearly 25 billion financial transactions per year, ACH offers a secure, low-cost solution for payments across all industries.

2. VCI's ACH Solutions

VCI is the link between your business and the ACH network. It converts payment information into ACH-required formats so that funds can be transferred from the consumer’s account to a business account instantly and securely.

ACH and eCheck Processing

VCI’s ACH and eCheck solutions let customers pay directly from their bank account to yours – no third party required to hold or verify funds. You can configure these fintech solutions to allow clients to set up recurring payments, one-time online payments or pay by phone. Using the client’s banking information, funds are withdrawn from the customer’s account and deposited directly into yours using the ACH network.

Remote Data Capture

If you have clients that just have to pay by check, VCI’s Remote Deposit Capture solution lets you deposit checks to any bank account at any institution without ever leaving the office. Using an approved device, you scan the checks, then the digitized information is forwarded to the ACH network for processing.
