Press Release Body: July 15, 2008 - Columbia, MD -- First ACH unveiled their new solution for processing ACH WEB transactions - First ACH CheckOut. This new solution not only allows merchants to collect customer initiated ACH payments from their website, but also offers easy setup; so simple that almost anyone can implement customer initiated ACH payments online. The simplicity also conveys to the customer who will find that the easy to use and customer friendly interface makes self-initiated ACH payments over the internet as comfortable as credit card payments.

The First ACH CheckOut feature is the next step in internet transaction processing for First ACH. Formerly called Virtual Check, First ACH CheckOut is the enhanced solution, taking the best of Virtual Check while adding robust functionality: recurring transactions, custom merchant branding, and even email receipts for both the customer and the merchant. The First ACH CheckOut Setup Wizard allows the merchant to set options and preferences in a simple step-by-step interface, and then generates the HTML code needed to integrate the solution into their website. The First ACH CheckOut Setup Wizard can also be accessed within the Gateway to change options and settings at anytime and generate new code for the merchant\'s website.

Merchants can also choose optional features such as Check Verify and Recurring Transactions to complement CheckOut. And of course, merchants utilizing CheckOut will still have access to all of the other standard and optional features and solutions provided by First ACH including; custom reporting, reject notification, 24/7 account access, free customer support, and internet based entry for non-WEB ACH transactions. This flexibility in functionality demonstrates First ACH\'s innovation in payment solutions.

A professional and dynamic solution, First ACH CheckOut enables all internet merchants to present an online method of ACH payment, even if they have little to no HTML experience. More advanced WEB developers can develop a wide spectrum of functionality and incorporate CheckOut in the manner that best suits their business model. First ACH CheckOut is truly a progressive choice in alternative payments.
