For people who aren\u2019t deeply involved in banking or the payment technology industry, the terms eCheck and ACH can be indistinguishable from each other and are often used interchangeably. However, while these payment methods can have similarities, it is very important for business owners to know the differences between them.<\/p>

It should be known that ACH (automated clearing house) and eCheck payments both fall under the term EFTs (electronic funds transfers), which are exactly what the name implies: funds being transferred electronically from one party to another.<\/p>

DIFFERENCES<\/h2>

The reason these terms are often used interchangeably is because they both\u00a0are processed as ACH payments, but there are still differences that merchants should be aware of.<\/strong><\/p>

ACH payments are commonly used for recurring payments, direct deposits, and larger transactions, for which the information provided is stored to use in future payments.<\/p>

On the other hand, eChecks are used for one-off payments, and the information provided for the transaction isn\u2019t stored.<\/p>

WHY IMPLEMENT ACH AND ECHECKS INTO YOUR BUSINESS?<\/h2>

\u00a0Today, ACH is considered essential to most businesses and companies: it\u2019s very secure, it\u2019s convenient for customers and merchants alike, and it generally cost less than credit card transactions. In fact, due to transfers occurring straight from the customer\u2019s account, some fees can be avoided altogether.<\/p>
