So what’s driving this surge? And what does it mean for the future of financial transfers? More importantly—how can you make sure you’re not left behind?

What Is ACH and Why Is Everyone Talking About It? 

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, a network that lets you transfer money directly from one bank account to another. No paper. No physical presence.  

If you’ve ever used direct deposit, paid a bill online, or sent funds to a contractor using their bank account details, you’ve already used ACH. 

It’s fast, it’s affordable, and it’s getting smarter with Zil.US—where businesses can manage vendor payments in just a few clicks.

Why ACH Is Growing So Fast 

1. Businesses Want Speed Without Paying Extra 

ACH strikes a perfect balance—quick transactions without the high cost. For businesses managing dozens (or hundreds) of payments each month, that adds up to huge savings. 

2. Paper Processes Are Outdated 

Between mailing checks and waiting for them to clear, traditional payments feel like they belong in another decade. ACH payments are digital from start to finish. That means less time waiting and fewer chances for error

3. Remote Work Changed Everything 

With teams working from all over the place, businesses need tools that work anywhere, anytime. ACH is perfect for remote-first environments—no physical trips to the bank needed
