Overview:

There is a demand for cross-border transactions for both consumer and business initiated transactions in the United States. The new IAT code requires recipients to become capable of identifying international ACH transactions. The new IAT code is used to facilitate international payments for companies with suppliers outside of the US along with the ability to accept payments from international customers.

Affirmative Technologies provides International ACH services that are secure, safe, and efficient. Fast payment and collection from international suppliers and customers was never easier than with our web-based payment platform that supports IAT originations.
