Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit Block

An Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit Block prevents all electronic transactions (EFT Debit and EFT Credit) from processing unless they are specifically authorized. For bank accounts with an ACH Debit Block, the Company ID is a password that allows an electronic payment to be processed.

Generally, to place an ACH Debit Block, the bank account owner enters into an agreement with the financial institution. If you are unsure whether your account has an ACH Debit Block, contact your financial institution, and ask.

Debit Block Information for City Business Tax Payments: Company ID: 0000408976

Other Options

Bulk E-File ACH EFT-Debit (Automated Clearing House Electronic Funds Transfer) through tax-filing software options for Payroll Service Providers or the tax-paying business.

EFT Credit transactions authorize pushing funds into a bank account. EFT Credit is performed by initiating the payment from your own financial institution.
