A NACHA file is used by banks to process electronic payments through the National Automated Clearing House Association.

Step 1. Navigate to Banking > Manage Owner ACH or from the review page, select Manage ACH Batch from the Page Action drop down menu.


Step 2. Use the Search filters to locate the batch(s) you want to process. 

  

Step 3. Check the boxes to the right of all the batches you want to process, or check the box at the top to process all batches. 

 


Step 4. Select Create NACHA File from the Page Action dropdown menu. 


 


Step 5. Click OK in the confirmation window. 



Step 6. This will create the file and add a link to the Manage ACH page. 



Step 7. The final step is to send the file to the Association’s bank for processing. The process for this step will vary depending on the requirements for each bank. Prior to sending a file, contact the Association bank for detailed instructions.
