Frequently Asked Questions
Still need help? Feel free to reach out to us via email, chat, or phone. In the meantime, please view our help desk.
What is an ACH payment?
Automated Clearing House (ACH) is a payment clearing facility for electronic funds transfer. It is a commonly-used network that provides a secure payment transfer system for businesses. ACH payment processing often provides businesses with quicker access to funds and can be a less expensive payment method compared to paper cheques and credit cards.
Do I need technical skills to generate NACHA files?
Not at all. Checkrun walks you through vendor setup and file generation step-by-step. No coding required.
What banks does this ACH file export work with?
Any U.S. bank that accepts ACH files, including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, and credit unions.
Is my vendor and banking info secure?
Yes. Checkrun uses bank-level encryption and secure data storage to protect sensitive information.
Can I use this with QuickBooks Online?
Absolutely. Import your bills from QuickBooks Online and sync with Checkrun to manage ACH payments seamlessly.
How do I provide remittance advice to my vendors being paid by ACH?
Checkrun introduces a new Bill Remittance Portal (Payee Portal) for vendors/payees to gain access to the remittance advice for the ACH Payment. If you have included an email address in the vendor record, we will use that to send one email, with link, to the Payee Portal and a second email with a unique pin code. Remittance Advices can be sent from the Archive Payment Queue and will be automatically sent back to QuickBooks Online.
Will my file be formatted properly, per my banks specifications?
Yes, once you provide your bank’s specifications, our software ensures the file you request is formatted properly. Checkrun software supports multiple common Standard Entry Class Codes (SECs), such as: CCD (Cash Concentration and Disbursement) and PPD (Prearranged Payment and Deposit).
