This code verifies that you have received authorization from the credit card issuer to process a specific transaction. This number should be recorded and saved for future reference.

Automatic Bill Payment
Recurring, automatic charges to a credit or debit account for a specified service. Automatic payments must be arranged and authorized by the customer.

Automatic Check Handling (ACH)
A form of electronic payment, designed to be a sort of e-check or electronic check payment. ACH is usually used to process higher volumes or small-dollar payments for settlement issues within 1 to 2 business days. These transactions are handled much the same way that written checks are handled. The clearinghouse divides all ACH files received from member banks for the day and divides them according to originating bank and paying bank, totals the accounts, and credits or debits all accounts accordingly. ACH can also mean Automatic Clearinghouse.
