Yeah, I had a friend a few years ago who in addition to IBill, was taking checks. He was simply taking the routing info and account info and crap from a form on the website and literally printing up the drafts and cashing them. Bank was all confused at first when he would walk in with a few hundred checks for 9.95 that he had printed himself, but once he explained it they were all good. I know that is not ACH however.
I am guessing to get plugged into the ACH system is similar to getting a merchant account, but Ill be damned if I can find anything online about it. Just a whole lot of people providing third party access to it. And judging from the looks of these outfits, its cant be that hard.
Getting hooked up to the system is one thing (and I dont really want to talk to my bank, I am in podunk Washington now and my ass walking in and wanting to shove smut through their system is not a conversation I am eager to have), integrating it into your website is another.
