ACH Payments vs GoACH

ACH Payments provides paid ACH and credit or debit card processing through a web virtual terminal and API. The terminal handles single, future-dated, and recurring payments, with scheduling, recurring billing, user permissions, customizable receipts, and exportable reports. Website tools create hosted payment pages with custom fields for one-time or recurring charges. Its QuickBooks module supports ACH and card transactions, recurring or one-time payments, reporting, and tokenization. A ChurchSquare integration updates payment histories in ChurchSquare while activity remains trackable in the virtual terminal. The company says tokenization replaces bank-account data so it need not sit on client servers or databases. The terminal is described as Level 1 PCI compliant and lists address, velocity, checking-account, and identity verification tools. ChurchSquare special pricing is $0.35 a month, billed as $20.00 monthly for three accounts plus reporting and 800# support, with additional transaction and return fees specified.

GoACH is a NACHA-compliant ACH processor for high-risk businesses such as merchant cash advance, credit repair, debt settlement, and collections. It is available through a web terminal and REST API, supporting ACH credits, recurring schedules, same-day ACH, and smart routing. Dashboards track returns and anomaly alerts through an AI risk engine trained on merchant cash advance transaction patterns. Compliance support includes CCD, PPD, WEB, and TEL SEC codes, WEB debit authorization management, and audit-ready reporting aligned with NACHA rules. The browser terminal requires no installation or API integration and provides reports with CSV export. The API covers transactions, recurring schedules, clients, bank accounts, returns, deposits, and reporting, with GoACH credentials required. Standard ACH funds typically settle within 1–2 business days; same-day processing is available before the cutoff window. Pricing is by quote and depends on industry, volume, and risk profile. The listed plan notes transaction, percentage, monthly, return, same-day, and reserve-related charges may apply.
