Stripe Payments is a powerful payment processor for online sales. It can accept dozens of payment methods and more than 135 currencies. ACH payments on Stripe cost 0.80%, capped at $5, with no monthly fees or verification fees. So, a $100 payment incurs a $0.80 fee; any payments above $625 cost $5. This can be especially useful if you routinely charge customers large amounts on a recurring basis.
ACH Direct Debit on Stripe comes with bank account verification, making it easy to stay compliant with Nacha validation rules and reduce fraud.
Things to remember:
- ACH payments take up to 5 business days to receive acknowledgment of their success or failure. Because of this, your Stripe balance takes up to 7 business days to reflect ACH payments in your available Stripe balance.
- You can only accept funds in USD and only from US bank accounts. In addition, your account must have a US (USD) bank account to accept ACH payments.
