Schedule Transfer

Why ACH payments

Faster than a check. A fraction of the cost of a wire.

ACH transfers move money between bank accounts through the Federal Reserve’s network. For routine business payments, they cost far less than wire transfers and arrive without the friction of paper checks.

No wire fees

Send ACH payments at a fraction of the cost of domestic wire transfers. Predictable, low per-transaction fees.

Your own bank stays

Connect your existing business checking account. No need to move money or open a new account to send ACH.

Schedule in advance

Set the send date, and the payment goes out automatically. Useful for recurring vendor payments and predictable payroll runs.

Send one or a batch

Pay a single vendor or run a full payroll batch from a CSV or accounting tool import in one session.

FAQ

ACH payment questions, answered

What is an ACH payment?
ACH stands for Automated Clearing House. It is the electronic network used to move money between US bank accounts. When you pay a vendor or employee by bank transfer rather than check or wire, you are typically using ACH. ACH payments are processed in batches through the Federal Reserve’s network.
Is ACH cheaper than a wire transfer?
Yes. ACH payments carry a lower fee per transaction than domestic wire transfers. Wire transfers move money individually and in real time, which makes them more expensive. ACH batches transactions, which lowers the cost. For routine vendor and payroll payments, ACH is the lower-cost choice.
Can I use my existing business bank account to send ACH?
Yes. You connect your existing business checking account by entering its routing and account number, or by linking it via instant login. You do not need to open a new account or move funds to a separate platform.
What is Same-Day ACH?
Same-Day ACH allows transfers to settle within the same business day, compared to standard ACH which typically settles in one to two business days. Same-Day ACH is available for eligible transactions submitted before the network cutoff time. Zil Money supports both Standard and Same-Day ACH.
Can I send payroll through ACH on Zil Money?
Yes. You can send payroll as a batch ACH transfer directly from your business bank account. Import employee payment details from a CSV or your accounting tool, set the send date, and the transfers process through the ACH network. Payroll via ACH does not require a separate payroll processor.
