1. KeyNavigator ACH

KeyNavigator’s ACH service enables authorized users to initiate electronic debit and credit transactions. You can either create these transactions manually or import transaction information into the ACH module. Our easy to use templates allow you to create, store, and approve payments easily for payment types including payroll, tax and vendor payments. If you have proprietary software capable of creating compatible ACH files, you can upload the file directly into the KeyNavigator.
