Frequently Asked Questions


Is ACH a secure payment method for high-ticket, commercial B2B invoices?
Yes. Trace ACH is compliant with Nacha security standards, and works with the PayTrace customer vault to securely store sensitive data.

What industries benefit most from ACH payments and accounts receivable automation?
Industries with high invoices ($10,000 to $100,000), such as wholesale, manufacturing and distribution, can avoid hundreds of dollars in fees per invoice by accepting ACH payments instead of credit cards.
