Establish a New ACH Template

We provide many easy-to-use templates for many transfer types, including payroll, tax payments, consumer debits and credits, cash concentration, disbursements, and vendor payments. ACH Transfer templates enable you to automatically define information about the receiving financial institution and add multiple ACH transfers using easy to use templates. You can leverage all templates at any time, without having to reestablish each transfer one at a time. In addition, any time you generate process a new template, the system requires approvals for transfers to be processed as accurately as possible. The system divides templates into two categories: payment templates and collection templates. The steps that follow use the +New payment template option as an example.

To establish templates based on NACHA standard or Non-NACHA (fixed width or delimited) file formats, use the File import templates function.
