ACH is a much simpler way to handle Owner and Vendor Payouts. It's automated and efficient, saving you the time and effort of creating, printing, and issuing checks.
But what exactly is an ACH File? Well, it's a secure electronic file that contains a batch of financial transactions for automated processing. Once you create this file, you can upload it to your business bank account to initiate payments to the respective bank accounts.
ACH Payouts can be generated whenever it suits you, although it's most commonly done during the End of Month Process. This allows you to pay Vendors and Owners with a single file uploaded to your bank account for distribution.
To create an ACH File for payouts, you need to ensure the Vendor and Owner Profiles contain their bank details. Additionally, input your bank information from where the funds will be withdrawn.
