How do I implement payroll direct deposit using ACH file protocol?
The ACH (Automated Clearing House) file format (which some may also refer to as NACHA–National Automated Clearing House Association) is a specific file format used by most, but not all, banks in support of Direct Deposit Payroll activities.

Those banks will usually have a proprietary format which is implemented using special software which they provide. Prosoft does not support those proprietary formats. Please note that, although the basic format of the Gemini ACH file conforms to the NACHA-specified “standard”, the final file may be slightly different. The differences primarily relate to data fields that some banks require to contain information other than that which is specified in the ACH standard. This is acceptable because the ACH file you will generate will be submitted directly to your bank. Your bank will subsequently reprocess it along with
