More than 3.3 billion ACH debit and nearly 2.3 billion ACH credit payments were made in the third quarter of 2018. During this same period, B2B payments increased nearly 10% with over 896 million payments completed. Healthcare EFT payments, a healthcare industry standard for claim payments from insurers to providers, also increased by 10% to 77 million payments. In addition to B2B growth, online ACH payments increased by 14% and totaled 1.5 billion.
In addition, according to the press release, there were 43.2 million Same Day ACH payments made in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 192% compared to the same time period in 2017, when Same Day ACH debits were introduced.
