How do I send a small business ACH payment?

We make it easy to send an ACH payment to your employees, contractors and vendors.

Please be aware, if your business has multiple owners, at least two owners must approve the ACH payment. If you initiate the ACH payment as an owner, then only one additional owner approval is needed. See also: How do I grant secondary approval for small business ACH payments?
