About standard ACH payments

Standard ACH is a payment method that is automatically available when you subscribe to Cash Management and Accounts Payable. In Sage Intacct, this payment method is referred to as ACH or ACH or bank file in payment method fields. Use standard ACH to pay vendors and reimburse employees.

You can only issue ACH payments when transactions are in US dollars and are drawn on US banks.

After setup is complete, ACH or bank file appears a payment method when you go to pay bills or reimburse employees. Then, you can generate an ACH payment file and download it to send to your bank for processing. Intacct uses the NACHA file format in which the last digit of the routing number is placed in a different location in the file for security reasons. The location of the last digit of the routing number is recognizable by the bank.
