Nacha’s Risk Management Advisory Group has been evaluating potential risk increases and decreases due to Same Day ACH. It has consistently found no justification to fears that Same Day ACH would introduce massive amounts of risk.

ACH frees up time, money and energy so nonprofits can focus on what really matters: their mission.  In creating a new ACH toolkit for nonprofits, Nacha undertook research to see what resonated with donor coordinators and donors.

The quick answer is that all ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments are EFTs (Electronic Funds Transfers), but not all EFT payments are ACH. And EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a data format, not a payment.
