PAD ACHs are the leading alternative to deposits made by cheque, draft or wire payment as they speed up and simplify the process. Not only will your beneficiaries receive the funds in their account within 48 hours, but the transfer is completely cost free for your business.
What is a PAD-ACH?
A Pre-Authorized Debit Automated Clearing House (PAD-ACH) is an efficient and cost-effective method to electronically transfer funds between your USA-based USD accounts.
This solution is ideal for clients and beneficiaries with USD accounts held in the USA that don’t require same day settlement. Payments are free of charge and typically credit the beneficiary account the following business day.
PAD-ACH transactions have become the desired transfer method for B2B transfers as many businesses are looking for a more efficient and lower cost alternative to paper cheques and manual processing.
