2. The ACH Network is a batch processing, store-and-forward system.
Transactions received by the financial institution during the day are stored and processed
later in a batch mode. Rather than sending each payment separately.
It also provides faster processing than paper checks, which must be physically handled.
Instead of using paper to carry necessary transaction information, ACH transactions are
transmitted electronically between financial institutions through data transmission.
