Massive Volume & Missed Opportunity

Why today’s high-stakes marketplace demands more efficient bank
account validation

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 They often rely on outdated bank account validation systems that may be costing them time, money, and customers.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.

Ai Validate BD. The bank account validation solution you didn't know you needed. 

As a fintech leader in machine learning and predictive analytics, Accelitas set out to literally “break the code” in ACH transactions, developing a patented mathematical model that deciphers how U.S. financial institutions format and structure their accounts, allowing its Ai Validate Bank Data (BD) service to automatically identify and filter invalid bank routing and account number pairs.

It's just one of the unprecedented advantages that Ai Validate BD provides online businesses. If you’re looking to optimize your bank account validation — and there are millions of good reasons to do so — here are the three key considerations:

Three Keys to Bank Account Validation (BAV) Success 

Ai Validate BD is designed to deliver a more comprehensive BAV solution for today’s online businesses, including three distinct advantages:

This real-time, comprehensive coverage ensures fewer payment disruptions, minimizing customer frustration and operational inefficiencies, and directly addressing critical pain points identified by Nacha.
  2. Superior ROI with Targeted Optimization: By strategically targeting and eliminating common ACH return codes, Ai Validate BD optimizes your resources, reducing both hard costs (manual corrections and transaction fees) and soft costs (customer dissatisfaction and lost opportunities). 
  3. Enhanced Customer Experience: Ai Validate BD leverages predictive analytics and ML-driven scoring to deliver rapid account validation within your existing workflow. Streamlining onboarding and checkout processes enhances customer experience, minimizes transaction drop-off, and supports consumer choice, safeguarding revenue and customer loyalty.
