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:
Batch Number | SEC Code | Service Class Code | Company Name | Identification | EntryDescription | EffectiveEntryDate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | WEB | 200 (Mixed Debits and Credits) | Your Startup | CORPTESTER | Acct Verify | 220627 |
