The City of Wichita is proud to introduce our newest electronic service: Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. Payments made by the City of Wichita can now be received electronically by your financial institution and deposited directly to your bank account.

The ACH system is a nationwide payment and collection system that is used for the settlement of electronic debits and credits between financial institutions. The ACH system distributes and settles transactions quickly, accurately, and inexpensively. Payment by ACH offers a low-cost alternative to paper checks, providing the following benefits to both you and the City:

• Eliminates paper check handling;
• Reduces operating costs;
• Improves funds availability;
• Offers excellent cash flow forecasting;
• Renders more reliable and faster posting of funds;
• Allows for the tracing of payments;
• Eliminates lost or stolen checks;
• Simplifies bank reconciliation.
