PaymentsWhat Time Are Scheduled Payments Sent Out?
When scheduling one-time or recurring payments, it's important to note that once scheduled payments reach their due date, they are sent out at approximately 4am EST that day. We release scheduled payments early to ensure that all scheduled domestic wires and ACHs meet the same-day cut-off time, and are settled by that evening. This means you cannot schedule a payment on the same day you plan to release it. (For example, if you are scheduling a payment on January 2nd to be released on January 2nd the payment will not go out). If you do accidentally schedule a payment on the same day it needs to go out, it will not be released, nor will it default to the next business day automatically. Instead, that payment will be struck as overdue in your Scheduled Payments Tab. To send a payment in real-time you will need to select the black and green Make A Payment button in your banking tab. On the transaction details page of that payment, be sure to select the "Send Now" option (vs Send Later). This also means that any scheduled payments that need approval, must be approved prior to 4am EST on their due date, or the payment will not be released. For scheduled payments that are from Accounts Payable Bills only: Please make sure the Payment Date is set as a business day (Monday-Friday). Any payment dates set for weekend days (Saturday or Sunday) will not be sent, and be reflected as "overdue" in your Payments Tab.

PaymentsTransfer Faqs
Can I send bulk transfers from my Rho account? If you'd like to set up bulk transfers from your Rho account, reach out to us at 855-7-GETRHO or at Bank@Rho.co to discuss your specific needs. Bulk transfers are only permitted on a case-by-case basis, and companies must comply with any relevant laws and regulations. How do I view a list of all past transfers? In your Rho dashboard, navigate to the Banking tab > All Recent Activity > View All. Can I link Rho to PayPal? Yes, you can. To link a business PayPal account to Rho, first log in to PayPal. Find the 'Pay & Get Paid' tab. Then, select 'Banks & Cards' and 'Link a New Bank.' Under the list of banks to connect, you will need to type in any mix of letters (eg. abcdefghi) in the search bar in order to prompt the option 'Don't see your bank here?'. Once you see that option, click that to enter your Rho routing and account number details. When connecting your Rho account, double-check that the name of the entity on your PayPal account explicitly matches the name of the entity on your Rho account. Micro-deposits will be used to link your account. The Micro deposits should appear in your Rho account from PayPal within 2-3 business days. Once they arrive, you can log back into PayPal to confirm the amounts you received. Your connection will then be active. What Are the Differences Between ACHs and Domestic Wires? While ACHs and Domestic Wires are both domestic payments, there are a few differences between these types of payments: 1. They run on different networks An ACH transfer (a.k.a. direct deposit) is a method of sending funds from one bank to another using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. To process an ACH transfer, a request is made from the payor's bank account. Then, funds are sent via the ACH network to the recipient's bank. The Automated Clearing House network is a network of financial institutions, including banks and credit unions, that are batching transactions between them, guided by the rule-making organization, Nacha . ACH is a US-only network, thus not available for vendors outside the United States. Wire transfers are electronic interbank payments used to transfer funds directly from one entity's bank account to another's. Wire instructions include the bank account number and ABA bank routing number for the vendor receiving the money. Wire transfers are individual requests, while ACH transfers are handled in batches. For example, employee payroll checks are often directly deposited using ACH transfers. 2. Banks may have different routing numbers to accept ACHs or wires As these are two different types of payments, many banks have different routing numbers reserved for receiving ACHs, separate from the routing number they use to receive wires. Before sending a payment, be sure to check that the routing number you have for the recipient bank accepts ACHs, wires, or both. 3. Fees While Rho does not charge for sending and receiving ACHs or wires, other banks may have sending/receiving fees for these transfers. In general, at other banks, ACH transactions are lower-cost than wire transfers. 4. Settlement times Each financial institution sets its cutoff time policy for sending same-business-day bank wires. With wire payments, funds are immediately available within 24 hours of arriving in the vendor's bank account. At Rho, wires sent prior to 4:45 p.m. EST will arrive same-day. Wires sent after 4:45 p.m. EST will land the next business day. ACHs sent before 2 p.m. EST will land the same day. ACHs sent after 2 p.m. EST will land within 1-3 business days. 5. Ability to recall or dispute a payment ACHs are much easier to recall or dispute. Once funds have been wired, because of the immediacy, recalling erroneous transactions is much more difficult. Conclusion: Wire transfers and ACH transfers serve different needs. Wire transfers are best when speed and certainty are critical. ACH payments are good for small, frequent payments. As long as everybody involved trusts each other, its cost-effective to use this automated system. Common examples of ACH payments include: Direct deposit of employee pay or benefits from Social Security Automatic monthly bill payments to utilities, lenders, and other service providers Moving money between your accounts at different banks Automatic contributions to retirement accounts or education savings accounts Some merchants and organizations also like ACH transfers for one-off payments to avoid their bank's recipient wire fees. Can I connect my Rho account into a third party? Yes, connecting your Rho account to third-party services is supported via the Plaid integration or through Mastercard's Data Connection product, Finicity. Additionally, if you use a third-party app built on Stripe Financial Connections (such as Stripe payment processing, payouts, or payroll tools like Central), you can now connect that app directly to your Rho bank account! Rho is supported within Stripe Financial Connections, so no workarounds are required. Simply connect your Rho account when prompted within the third-party app.
