Account Validation

Unlock the Power of ACH with iStream’s Validation Techniques.

Are you seeking cost-effective and efficient payment processing solutions for your business? Look no further! Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions offer a seamless and reliable alternative to credit and debit card payments. With ACH account validation techniques, you can streamline payment processes, reduce costs, and enhance the overall customer experience while being confident in your processing.

Why ACH Account Validation Matters

Unlike traditional card networks, ACH transactions lack real-time account failure notifications, making validation crucial for seamless payment processing. Our ACH account validation techniques empower you to verify account details as quickly as your business requires.  With account validation as fast as real-time, your business can keep moving forward while ensuring successful transactions.

NACHA requires in their rules that all first-time WEB-authorized transactions be validated by a commercially reasonable method.  All the account validation methods iStream supports satisfy these rules. Here are the options you need to know:

ACH Prenotification Entry (Prenote) Method

Using the ACH network, initiate a zero-dollar transaction to validate the existence of the customer’s bank account before processing payments. This method is best for validating ACH accounts during a customer setup where the first transaction will be at least 3-5 days later.

Micro-deposit or Trial-deposit Method

Using the ACH network, send small credits to the account and require customers to verify deposited amounts, ensuring account existence and preventing fraudulent use. This method is best for validating ACH accounts during a customer setup where the first transaction will be at least 3-5 days later.

Account Validation Services

Leverage iStream’s account validation services with real-time database access to validate account information swiftly. Benefit from quick responses, reduced fraud risk, and improved transaction accuracy. This method requires no additional information from your customer and responses are delivered in seconds.

Linked Account Verification

Embrace Open Banking principles to offer real-time validation by having customers provide online banking credentials. Enjoy immediate validation, eliminating administrative returns, reducing errors, and providing routing and account numbers directly from the bank. This method provides the most certain account validation as a successful linked account verification means the customer successfully logged into their bank account and the account data is provided directly from the customer’s bank!

The Benefits for Your Business

Lower Processing Costs

ACH transactions entail significantly lower fees compared to credit card processing, maximizing your profits. By eliminating returns through account validation, businesses avoid the return costs, the overhead to handle the exceptions, and worries about return thresholds.

Faster Settlement Times

Expedite access to funds with ACH’s quicker settlement periods, ensuring optimal cash flow management.

Reduced Fraud Risk

ACH account validation offers enhanced scrutiny, reducing the risk of unauthorized transactions and chargebacks.

Improved Customer Experience

Offer customers diverse payment options, including ACH, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty.
