ACH Origination

Want to reduce your paperwork, regulate your cash flow and make fewer trips to the bank? STAR has one of the most advanced Automated Clearing House (ACH) systems in the country. Our service allows you to initiate and manage a wide variety of transactions quickly and conveniently. All you need is a STAR checking account and we'll take care of the rest. You can use ACH services to electronically deposit payroll checks in employees' accounts, charge tenants for rent, charge membership dues and consolidate or disperse funds. 

Direct Deposit

Take advantage of the added convenience of direct deposit for depositing net pay, reimbursements, commissions, retirement plan payments, pension benefits, dividends and other payments into the checking or savings accounts of employees, retirees and shareholders. It’s a great way for employees to experience the convenience and security of uninterrupted, paperless payments. 

Collections

Pre-authorized payments allow companies to electronically debit customers’ accounts and maximize availability of funds by replacing conventional paper invoicing. This ensures correct payments are received in a timely manner. 

Payments

With ACH Payments, you can electronically pay vendors and suppliers directly while tracking the funds and receipts.

It is a cost-effective way to concentrate deposits and fund disbursements by establishing sub-accounts and target balances for each account.
