How It Works:

• You initiate ACH transactions via our Business Online Banking application or other agreed upon format. Certain addenda may be included with the payment, such as invoice number and date.
• Republic Bank translates and formats your data in order to send to the receiving bank, which then translates and reports the payment and addenda information for your vendor.
• Republic Bank has four "windows" or transmission times: 6:00 AM, Noon, 4:00 PM, and 7:30 PM. (Eastern Time)

Security Tokens:

To reduce the potential of unauthorized access, we have introduced the use of security tokens. These devices generate a new 6 digit code every 60 seconds to ensure a maximum level of security!

Requirements:

• Completion of an ACH Application which is underwritten by Republic Bank
• Completion of a signed ACH Agreement
