Employers must receive the following information before posting an ACH to an employee's account:
- The name of the employee's bank or credit union from which they will receive their funds.
- The type of account into which the employee would like their funds to be deposited (checking or savings account).
- The ABA routing number of the employee's bank. This is a nine-digit code that is used to identify banks in the United States.
- The employee's account number. This is an 8 to 12-digit number that identifies a person's bank account.
