Establish a New ACH Collection

Generate new ACH transfers using the + New collection functionality. The following procedures extend basic guidance for the generation of a new ACH collection when a financial institution user opens the ACH User Interface within Business Online.

To establish a collection:

Sign in to Business Online or Abiliti.
Select Payments & Transfers. The Payments & Transfers page appears.
Select ACH. The ACH Activity page appears.
Select + New collection. The New collection box appears.
Select the appropriate Type (for example, Prearranged payment- PPD) from the drop-down list. Click Continue. The system displays the New collection page.
Type the Description of the transfer (for example, Monthly service contract).
In the Tax identification number field, select the tax identification number the transfer is associated with.

In some instances, an ACH User (for example, George Washington) is associated with multiple companies (for example, Washington Farms and Washington Orchards). In these cases, the system populates the Tax identification number drop-down with each of the companies that the user is tied to.

In the Effective date field, enter the date you intend the new ACH transfer to process.
Select the Same day check box to process the transfer the same day.

Select the Repeat check box to establish the frequency with which the new ACH transfer occurs.
Select the Frequency from the drop-down list to establish how often the transfer occurs.

When you select a recurring frequency value other than None, the system populates the transfer with an additional date field titled End date. Enter the end date of a recurring transfer as the End date.

In the For non-business day use drop-down list, select the appropriate option for processing a recurring transfer on a non-processing date.
Type the Company description.

In the Pay from section, select the appropriate Account from the drop down list and type the Amount to be debited from the account.
In the Pay to section, complete the following fields.
1. Type the Name of the recipient.
2. Type the Identification number of the recipient.
3. Type the Routing transit number of recipient.
4. Type the Account number of the recipient.
5. Select the appropriate Account type.
6. Type the Amount to deposit in the recipient's account.
Click Complete ACH, the processing results page appears.
