The challenge

Why new businesses struggle to get ACH processing

Most ACH processors are hesitant to work with companies that have been in business for less than one year. These companies are classified as high-risk because without a long financial history, it’s difficult for processors to assess creditworthiness and predict the likelihood of returns or non-payment.

When a company applies for an ACH processing account, processors typically conduct a thorough review of financial history and creditworthiness. If a business is new, it simply may not have enough history to satisfy standard underwriting requirements — even if the business itself is solid.

GoACH works with underwriters who specialize in new business accounts. We evaluate the full picture — not just your time in business — to get you set up with stable ACH processing from day one.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a brand new business get ACH processing?
Yes — through GoACH. Most mainstream processors require 1–2 years of operating history, but we work with specialized underwriters who can approve new business accounts by evaluating the full picture, including the owner’s personal credit history and business plan.

What documents do I need to apply?
Typically: business formation documents (LLC or corp), EIN, a voided business check, and a brief description of your billing model. If you have a business bank account and a clean personal credit history, that helps significantly. Our team will walk you through the full list.

How long does approval take for a new business?
Most new business accounts are approved within 3–5 business days. The process moves faster when your documentation is complete upfront — our team will help make sure it is.

Will there be volume limits on my new account?
New accounts sometimes start with monthly processing limits that increase as you build a track record. GoACH will work with you to set appropriate initial limits and scale them up as your business grows and your processing history develops.
