ACH is accelerating around the clock
Same Day ACH and the introduction of Late Night ACH in 2022 are accelerating delivery of ACH payments. Here's a case in point: an average of nearly 10 million ACH payments per day were delivered in these new files on Monday through Thursday in the first seven weeks of service and during that time, Friday night ACH payments averaged more than 50 million.
