ACH SERVICES AND PAYMENTS

The Automated Clearing House (ACH) is a central clearing facility operated by the Federal Reserve Bank. This clearing house receives and distributes electronic payments among banks and performs settlement functions. The ACH Network includes financial institutions located in the United States, Guam and Puerto Rico.

Using iTreasury, companies can initiate electronic payment or withdrawal transactions. These transactions flow through Regions to the Automated Clearing House which then distributes them to the receiving banks. On the settlement date, funds are transferred between your account and the account of the receiver.

If you initiate electronic payroll transactions through Regions, the transactions are sent through the Automated Clearing House to your employees’ banks. On the settlement date, Regions debits your account and the respective institutions credit your employees’ accounts.

Note: Information regarding ACH and NACHA rules has been gathered from the ACH and NACHA guides. For further detail and information regarding ACH and / or NACHA rules, visit http://nacha.org.
