ACH Credit

Large businesses can submit a bulk ACH file. Each bulk ACH file allows up to 9,999 payments.

DOR uses the TPP standard for ACH wage attachment payments. See Related Links on the right for TPP Standard and DOR TPP Technical Specifications. We do not accept wage attachment payments using the TXP standard or XML.

Businesses wishing to submit bulk ACH files must contact DOR to submit a complete test file for approval. Testing requirements are explained in the TPP Technical Specifications under Related Links on the right.
