When to use this form
Use this template when you need written permission to debit a client's bank account. It fits recurring retainers, memberships, tuition, rent, and scheduled invoice payments. It also works for one-time ACH pulls for projects or deposits. You will collect account holder details, routing and account numbers, debit limits, and timing so you can process payments on time and reduce returns. Pair it with an Invoice request form to capture billing references, and record deposits with the Daily remittance entry form for quick reconciliation. If a customer prefers another method for a single payment, offer the Paypal payment form instead. Clear authorization shortens your A/R cycle, cuts manual follow-up, and gives both sides a record to reference.
Must Ask ACH Client Authorization Questions
- What is the account holder's legal name and business entity (if applicable)?
Exact legal names must match bank records to prevent rejects and reduce compliance issues. This also confirms who is granting permission, which protects you and your client.
- Which bank account will be debited (routing number, account number, and account type)?
These fields let your processor initiate the ACH correctly and verify account format. Capturing account type helps you apply the right rules for consumer versus business debits.
- Do you authorize a single debit or recurring debits, and what amount, frequency, and start/end dates apply?
Scope and schedule define what you are allowed to pull, which reduces disputes and chargebacks. It also lets you automate billing and send required notices before each draw.
- What billing reference should we include on each debit (invoice number, customer ID, or memo)?
References connect each payment to the correct work order or invoice so your team can reconcile fast. This is especially helpful when you post daily deposits or reconcile batches.
- How can you revoke authorization, and who should we contact for disputes or changes?
Clear revocation steps and contact info let clients stop debits without friction and help you resolve issues quickly. For refunds or payouts you approve, direct them to the Payment withdrawal form.
