Recommended next steps
Based on your modeled economicsACH direct debit has the lowest modeled cost under your selected assumptions. Start with a limited pilot among eligible customers, then measure actual adoption and costs.
ACH may suit recurring or larger-ticket payments. Confirm authorization, settlement timing, returns handling, and customer preferences before implementation.
Digital-dollar payments are an emerging option to test. Customer adoption, conversion charges, refunds and accounting workflows require validation.
These rail scenarios are alternatives, not additive savings. Shift only the selected eligible share and retain cards for the remaining payments.
Caps and minimums use the statement’s average ticket. A transaction-level distribution may produce materially different costs.
