Yes. A pre-note transaction may be submitted as a test. A pre-note is a zero-dollar transaction with unique transaction codes. Its intention is to verify both the transit routing and account number of a transaction. If either is incorrect, you'll be notified by a Return Resolution Report. It's recommended that you initiate a pre-note transaction 3 days in advance of a live dollar transaction for first-time accounts.

An ACH routing number is similar to an ABA routing number. The difference is that an ACH routing number is used for electronic transactions.

An ACH transfer is an electronic transfer of funds between two bank accounts. It's initiated through the Automated Clearing House network so you can send payments or pay bills quickly, depending on the ACH payment services available at your bank.

ACH transfers and automatic payments are processed securely by either the Federal Reserve or the Clearing House Payments Company, and then funds are moved electronically from one bank to another. ACH payment services generally are offered by banks and other financial institutions and often include same-day processing and detailed reports online.
