What ACH transfer is

ACH is the batch clearing network that moves US dollar payments between accounts at US banks and credit unions. Payments clear under the Nacha operating rules through one of two ACH operators, the Federal Reserve's FedACH service and The Clearing House's Electronic Payments Network, which handles roughly half of US commercial ACH volume. The same rail carries payroll direct deposit, bill payments and the bank transfers used to fund and withdraw from an exchange, for accounts held in the United States and its territories, and it pushes or pulls funds by routing and account number rather than by card.
