Best ACH payment processors

ACH payments move money directly between US bank accounts, so they're far cheaper than cards for large or recurring charges — often a flat fee rather than a percentage. These processors support ACH alongside card payments.

Frequently asked questions

Why use ACH instead of cards?
ACH fees are typically a small flat amount or a capped percentage, which makes them much cheaper than card fees on high-value or recurring payments. The trade-off is slower settlement, usually a few business days.
How much does ACH processing cost?
ACH usually costs a flat fee per transaction or a low capped percentage, versus roughly 2.5–3% for cards. Compare the ACH-capable processors here to see exact pricing.
