Direct Deposit Overview

EMBS Payroll module will accommodate the creation of an ACH Transactions file that can be uploaded to the user’s bank for the processing of direct deposit payroll transactions. Direct deposit means automatically depositing your Workers' net payroll amounts into the Workers' bank accounts. Your Workers will no longer have to cash checks to get paid.

EBMS uses a NACHA file to upload direct deposit payment details to the EBMS user's bank.   Review www.nacha.org for more information on NATCHA.  

Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) is the backbone of the Canadian payment industry including debit and fund transfers:  Contact Eagle Software Canada for assistance to configure EFT transactions.
