In the time it took to read that headline, thousands of payments and millions of dollars passed through the ACH network. Reliance on secure and cost-efficient ACH online transactions has soared in recent years and shows no sign of stopping. According to Nacha, the ACH network processed 8.7 billion ACH payments valued at $22.5 trillion in 2024 Q4, showing respective increases of 7.4% and 9.5% over the final quarter of 2023.
From critical direct deposit payments and everyday consumer purchases to reliable B2B payment options, ACH has stepped up to handle the incredible volume of internet transactions.
That gives bank account validation services an even more crucial role. Tasked with ensuring safe, accurate, and frictionless online transactions, bank account validation (BAV) has evolved from a mandatory compliance issue to a full-fledged fintech solution.
But many businesses aren’t aware of the changes. They often rely on outdated bank account validation systems that may be costing them time, money, and customers. They may not know that more efficient bank account validation tools can streamline the process virtually overnight. And the reason for all this missed opportunity is that many businesses simply don’t measure or even monitor their BAV performance.
