Benefits of ACH Payments
There are three major benefits to making ACH payments, including:
- Lower overhead costs: because these payments don't require a paper copy, the overall costs are cheaper than using paper checks.
- Security: US Bank, and other major financial institutions, have several safety and security measures in place to protect your assets.
- Convenience: ACH transfers can be scheduled at any time, making them an easy, convenient way to transact business. This is a win for you and those you pay.
