ACH Giving allows donors to give to your organization directly from their bank account. This can reduce the fees your organization pays for card transactions and reduce donor loss due to expired cards. It also can help increase the donation dollars put toward your organization’s cause.

Additionally, ACH Giving encourages donors to establish automatic, recurring gifts, which your donors set up and control the timing and amount of a regular donation.

The ACH Network allows organizations to use Direct Payment to make and receive payments. You can simplify the payment process for your organization and your donors, and free up time, money, and energy to devote to your organization’s mission.

By implementing ACH Giving, you can automate your accounts payables by making electronic payments to your vendors and service providers, which can create better cash flow management, along with easier reconciliation and reporting.

Your Direct Payment transactions are safe: Unlike a paper check, which passes through many hands, account numbers remain confidential. You also can consult with your financial institution or payroll provider to learn about additional sound business practices to protect sensitive data.

Direct Deposit transfers funds electronically from your organization’s account directly to your employees’ accounts. When you use Direct Deposit, you eliminate manual check preparation and record-keeping, helping you increase efficiencies and save costs, freeing up time to focus on your organization’s mission.

Additionally, Direct Deposit allows you to process payroll quickly—even on the same day—providing fast reconciliation of errors and ensuring accurate pay for your employees. 

Because Direct Deposit eliminates manual check preparation, you save on everything from postage and mailing supplies to staff time and resources. You also improve expense control and cash flow management and reduce your need for check-related services.

Direct Deposit also is good for your employees. It can help them save automatically: With convenient Split Deposit, they can direct a fixed amount or percentage of their pay into a savings or investment account to help build savings.

As the single biggest influence on employees’ use of Direct Deposit, your organization can play a key role in supporting employee financial health.
