What is a bank transfer?

Written by Perry Smith

Bank transfers/ACH payments are a direct payment from your clients bank account to your Stripe account which, is linked to Inly. This payment method will need to be enabled by you in the "Payment Methods" section of an invoice before you send your invoice to the client.

When a client chooses this payment method, they can verify their bank account instantly with Plaid or through manual verification. This process is streamlined, and they receive step-by-step instructions to walk them through the bank transfer which, gets you paid faster.

eCheck / ACH fees are 1.5% per transaction. If you absorb the fee, it's capped at $10. If you pass the fee to your client, it's capped at a maximum of $35 β€” making it a great option for larger payments.

Autopay with Bank Transfer

You can enable automatic payments on invoices that accept bank transfers. When your client consents to autopay, their bank account is charged automatically on each scheduled payment date β€” no action needed from either side. ACH autopay fees are 1.5% per transaction, capped at $35 whether you absorb the fee or pass it to your client.
