Neither the title of this post nor the article explains what ACH is. And it somehow got 15 points in 6 minutes or so. Am I missing something? edit: yes, downvote me to -3. I love you all

ACH is Automated Clearing House - a US Bank Transfer / Direct Deposit.

The article is written for people interested in the very specific topic of the technical workings ACH transfers. It seems absurd to me that you would try to write this article to an audience that hasn't even heard of ACH. I think the only thing you are missing is that you are not the target reader.

ACH is a bank to bank transfer.

Or bank to customer, thus potentially customer to customer.

ACH is a bank to bank transfer.

I don't believe that its technically a bank to bank transfer because the ACH is involved. With wire transfers you're communicating directly with the bank via SWIFT or Fedwire.
