ACH Consulting

ACHgenie provides technical ACH consulting for software companies, fintechs, payroll platforms, and engineering teams working with ACH files and payment workflows.

Our consulting scope is focused on four areas:

  • ACH integration
  • ACH file generation
  • ACH file validation
  • Technical Nacha compliance

ACHgenie can help engineering teams identify implementation issues, troubleshoot rejected or invalid files, and build reliable ACH generation and validation workflows.

ACH Implementation Problems

ACH Integration Issues

Payment data may be correct, but the ACH integration can still fail at the file-generation or system handoff stage

Incorrect ACH File Generation

Errors in headers, entries, addenda, control records, routing data, or balancing logic can make the ACH file invalid

Files Failing Validation

Generated files may contain structural, field-level, record-order, or cross-record errors that are not obvious during manual review

Repeated File Rejections

Fixing one file at a time does not solve the underlying issue in the generation or validation logic

Unclear Nacha File Requirements

Technical teams may need help applying Nacha file-format requirements to their generation and validation logic

Validation Performed Late

When ACH validation happens only after file generation or submission, errors are found later and require more rework
