Electronic Funds Transfer

[taw]

A customer wants to do electronic funds transfer from an accounts receivable system that I wrote for them. The only information that I have gotten from their bank is that the data should be in ACH (automated clearinghouse) format. I have never dealt with this before, but I assumed that I would just have to output the data in probably an ASCII file. I have been searching the net, but have only seen software or services that handle this. I haven't found any definitive information on exactly what the details of ACH format are. I was also surprised not to find any threads here about this. I'm sure there are plenty of those who have already dealt with this.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well I guess that you did have a rather bad day when you did your search

Search Google for "ACH format".
Also search for NACHA.

I won't bother to explain, I'll just hang my head and keep working. Thanks.
