Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) January 26, 2011

ACH Federal, a provider of Web-based ACH processing services to both banks and businesses, today announced it has joined forces with North Alabama Bank, giving the company a greater portfolio of services to meet the demanding needs of its business customers.

From medical companies to construction firms, retailers to lawyers, North Alabama bank customers now have access to complete ACH processing services.

“Partnering with North Alabama Bank illustrates how we are able to meet the specific demands of multiple financial institutions,” said Russ Scudder, president of ACH Federal. “From local community banks, to credit unions to large banks, ACH Federal has a wide portfolio of products and services designed to meet the unique needs of our individual customer.”

To best help expedite its customers’ demands in the most direct and timely manner, ACH Federal has a terminal that connects directly to the Federal Reserve. ACH Federal provides secure online payment processing for small banks, business and financial institutions via a streamlined, easy-to-use Web-based platform.
