How does same-day ACH work?

Quick Answer

Same-day ACH (since 2016, raised to $1M per item in 2022) settles in 3 windows during the business day instead of the 1-2 day standard. Originator pays $1-3 per item vs $0.20-1 for standard ACH — much cheaper than the $25-50 of a wire.

Three same day ACH settlement windows during the business day.
