What is an ACH? 

The automated clearing house (ACH) system are transactions received by the bank during the day are stored in batches for processing overnight.  The ACH system is designed for high volume, low value transactions in which payment information is processed and settled electronically.  Both the receiving account and the originating account are settled on the same day, so the delays associated with checks (mail, processing, funds availability and clearing) do not exist with an ACH transaction. 
 

What is the difference between an ACH and Wire Transfer? 
A wire is a real-time method of transferring immediate funds and supporting information between two financial institutions and is relatively expensive to use. An ACH is similar to a wire transfer only it uses a batch- process. Transactions received by the bank during the day are stored and processed later in batches and do not become available to a beneficiary until the next day. 

• There is NO CHARGE to your Arbiter Pay account for receiving deposits via ACH transfer.
• There is a charge to your Arbiter Pay account of $20.00 for receiving deposits via a wire transfer. 

Refer to the Wire Transfer section below if you wish to fund your Pay account via bank wire.

Arbiter Pay's Originator ID

Some Arbiter Pay administrators and school accounts have bank accounts with restrictions. For example, a school's bank account may not allow any inbound or outbound EFTs, so the school has to mail a check to Arbiter Pay. However, the schools can grant exceptions to these rules by letting the bank know who the electronic transaction is coming from. To do this, the school must provide the bank with Arbiter Pay's merchant account Originator ID (Company ID/ACH ID). 

The Originator ID for Arbiter Pay is:

1866487049
