Additionally, ACH payments are processed in batches and take a few businessdays (though they’re usually cheaper), whereas wire transfers are processed individually and can be completed within the same day. These batches take up to a few days to get processed.
Most small business owners and employers are turning to ACH payments instead paper check payments because of the ease and instant access the ACH network provides. ACH transactions provide a quick and easy way to pay employees, submit and retrieve tax returns, and automatically control your finances within 1-2 businessdays.
The ACH network then combines each message into a batch that is sent to the bank receiving the request (the receiving depository financial institution, or RDFI). This happens every day at 6 predecided intervals. Day 2, 1:30 PM: Same-day transferred funds must be processed and settled by this time.
There’s the ODFI, which stands for Originating Depository Financial Institution, and there’s the RDFI, which stands for Receiving Depository Financial Institution. To put it simply, the ODFIs are the financial institutions that send the transaction, while RDFIs are the institutions that receive it.
