ACH FAQs
An ACH credit or debit is an electronic money transfer between financial institutions using the Automated Clearing House network. For example, ACH is commonly used for direct deposit of paychecks and monthly debits for automatic payments.
Depending on the situation, either your customer (or other payer) initiates the ACH credit transfer to your business checking account, or your company initiates an ACH debit transfer to pull funds from the payer's account.
With SVB ACH services, debit and credit transfers can process same day for up to $1M per payment. For ACH credits, you also have the option to send next-day payments up to $99.9M.
Please contact your Relationship team for more information on ACH payment processing rates.
To initiate an ACH credit, in many cases you need to specify the recipient's full name, bank account number, routing number, the amount you want to send, and the date payment should be sent. When you make recurring payments to well-established businesses (e.g., for vendor payables), you may be able to simplify it using SVB Bill Pay. For instance, you might only need to add the merchant to your customer account number as the bank may already have their routing data. Then you can schedule payments as needed.
