The lending industry faces high risks due to large transaction values and ACH return rates. With most volume through ACH, your processor relationship is your most vital infrastructure piece.

For your payment processing, you need an ACH processor offering same-day or next-day origination, reasonable return fees, and batch processing for high volume.
