According to The Electronic Payments Association (NACHA), the number of Accounts Receivable (ARC) e-check payments exceeded 432 million in the third quarter of 2005, a 62% increase over a year ago. ARC volume exceeded that of Internet-initiated consumer Automated Clearing House - ACH debits (WEB), by more than 40% for this same time period.
The Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network grew by 17.4 percent in the 3rd Quarter 2005 compared to a year ago, according to NACHA statistics. More than 2.71 billion transactions were conducted during the quarter, worth more than $6.1 trillion. These figures represent growth rates of 17.4% and 13.7%, respectively, over the same quarter of 2004. There were 1.53 billion debits and 1.18 billion credits in the 3rd Quarter, for a total of 2.713 billion. The statistics include commercial inter-bank and government transactions, but not “On-Us” transactions.
