ACH Transfer

ACH transfer is a money transfer method used by users of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges (CEX) to fund their accounts. Standing for Automated Clearing House, ACH transfers are a low-cost alternative to wire transfers and typically settle within one to three business days. They are one of the most common ways US-based traders move fiat currency between bank accounts and crypto exchanges.

Example

I initiated an ACH transfer from my bank to Coinbase and the funds were available for trading the next business day.
