micro-deposits

Validating accounts is often done with two small credits submitted to a bank account and those amounts verified by a user. The experience can be improved by originating same-day batches so the amounts settle quickly. To implement this submission of ACH files with a shard key of micro-deposit could be used and configured for your ODFIs Same-Day processing windows.

The following are entry detail records you could create and submit to ACHGateway:

Entry Type Bank Account Amount (in cents)
Debit Your Company Checking 7
Credit Customer Checking 3
Credit Customer Checking 4

Putting those EntryDetail records into a CCD or WEB batch:
