A pressrelease revealed that the french international banking group chose Earthport as their global payments specialist. A financial service company who provides Automated Clearing House (ACH) cross-border payment services.

First out to deploy the payment service is a subsidiary of BNP Paribas called BNP Paribas Fortis, Belgium’s largest bank with annual revenues of 43 billion euros.

An automated clearing house (ACH) is an electronic funds-transfer system that deals with payroll, direct deposit, tax refunds, consumer bills, tax payments and many more payment services. ACH payments are a form of electronic payments, created when a customer provides an originating corporation, institution or other customer (originator), for the purpose of bill payment, gives authorization to debit directly from the customer’s checking or saving account.
