Pay by Bank with Validated ACH
Rainforest now supports processing payments with a validated ACH bank account. ACH validation is the process of validating a user's bank account to help avoid data entry errors and reduce fraud when a user wants to pay by bank.
Rainforest utilizes a third-party partner, Plaid, for real-time validation by requesting the user authenticate into their online bank account to collect the bank account information. This ensures the bank account is active and the user was able to successfully authenticate with their bank account credentials.
