ACH Bank Transfer Transactions
ACH payments take up to 5 business days to receive acknowledgment of their success or failure:
- When created, ACH charges will have the initial status of
pending
. - A pending balance transaction will immediately be created reflecting the payment amount.
- Payments created after 21:00 UTC are currently processed on the next business day.
- During the following 4 business days, the payment will either transition to
succeeded
orfailed
depending on the customer’s bank. - Successful ACH payments will be reflected in your available balance after 7 business days, at which point the funds are available for automatic transfer to your bank account.
- Failed ACH payments will reverse the pending balance transaction created.
- Your customer will see the payment reflected on their bank statement 1-2 days after creating the charge. (Your customer will know the payment succeeded before the bank notifies CheqrPay.)
Failures can happen for a number of reasons such as: insufficient funds, a bad account number, or the customer disabled debits from their bank account.
