You could checkout Balanced Payments ( https://balancedpayments.com/ ) - a YC company that does ACH.

Last time I checked they didn't do ACH, and were doing basically what stripe released today.

I originally thought the same too, but found that it is in Beta. http://blog.balancedpayments.com/balanced-payment-method-pay...

Tl;dr: we work with a bank to do this; we do lots of checks; and you're required to verify the identity of the recipients. See https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/sending-transfers#verifyin... for more info.

Do the funds ever sit in your (Stripe's) account or is the ACH transfer direct from the card to the destination account?

i.e. "Can I sue you as a money transmitter as well."

I assume the author of the announcement wrote the example code with the longshot hope that some Stripe users would say, "Hey, I guess I'll send Amber Feng three thousand bucks, just to see if this works." Takeaway point: always write code examples in such a way that a straight copy-and-paste might send you a lot of money.

It's in cents, so she'll only get $30. But it all adds up :)

It's a test-mode API call, so I'm sadly not getting any money from this. (:

This is cool, but the money has to be charged via credit card first right? It would be nice to transfer money from the bank account linked to stripe to another account, and as a user of Stripe's connect API, it would be nice to enable this in our apps for our users. Even cooler would be full blown ACH. We are working with ACH providers now and what a stark contrast to the beauty of stripe. All require some form of mo…

I think Dwolla offers what you want, don't they?

The Balanced Payouts service has been available for some time. Our ACH Debit (pay with bank account) is in Beta however.
