Frequently asked questions

What are ACH payments?

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, a centralized US financial network that allows banks and credit unions to send and receive electronic payments. The ACH Network securely handled 31.5 billion payments valued at $80.1 trillion in 2023 (source). It is trusted for a wide array of use cases, including payroll and utility payments.

Is ACH secure?

The ACH network is federally regulated, and is currently overseen by the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). NACHA helps enforce a strict set of controls and procedures for all parties paying with ACH. Based on a study conducted by the Federal Reserve, ACH payments have the lowest fraud rates (source).

How does Built protect against fraud?

  • All users must create accounts and login to send or accept money, providing more visibility and control into payments.
  • To protect against common phishing attacks, payees must set up their bank account information directly by logging into the platform.
  • Built’s payments partner is a registered PayFac, supported by a SOC 2, and is PCI certified. They perform business and identity verification for anyone sending money on the platform, and identify red flags for fraud and suspicious activity.
  • Built maintains an anti-money laundering policy, partnering with a third-party to verify businesses and monitor transactions in a manner compliant with AML requirements.
