Can I pay by bank (ACH)?

Yes. Alongside cards, Pledgix invoices can be paid from a US bank account by ACH transfer. You save the bank account once, and it becomes your payment method on file.

Steps

  1. Open the Billing tab in your client portal.
  2. On the Card on file card, click Update (or Add card).
  3. In the dialog, switch to the Bank (ACH) tab.
  4. Enter the account holder name, your 9-digit routing number, and your account number (4–17 digits).
  5. Click Save bank account.

Your bank details go straight to the secure payment vault — Pledgix stores only the last few digits for display. Just like saving a card, saving a bank account immediately retries any open invoices that are billed to your saved payment method. (Pay-by-link invoices are never charged automatically — pay those from their View & Pay page.)

Good to know

  • USD only — ACH works for invoices billed in US dollars.
  • Settlement takes 1–4 business days, unlike cards which confirm instantly. Your invoice is marked paid as soon as the payment is accepted; the funds clear from your bank over the following days. If your bank later returns the transfer, the invoice reopens and we'll email you.
  • One payment method is on file at a time — saving a bank account replaces a saved card, and vice versa.
Tip: ACH is a great fit for larger recurring invoices — no card expiry dates to babysit, and no card declines from bank fraud filters.
