Making Payments With ACH

Note: Not all companies support ACH and this functionality might not be available. 

This guide is a walkthrough for customers making payments to an invoice with the ACH method. When making a payment for the first time, you will have to go to the company’s client portal web address to add a payment. Currently, it is not possible to add a new bank account through the Mobile App. In most cases, once a bank account is added to the account, you will be able to make payments through the Mobile App.

This will take you to the next step where you add your bank information (account number and routing number) and then select what type of account it is. It’s important to double-check these fields to make sure it is correct. If the information is wrong, the system will not be able to inform you that it’s incorrect and will still try to confirm the bank account.

You should receive an email that informs you that a small deposit will be made to your bank account within the next few days.
