ACH Information

Employers can send contribution payments via an electronic transfer method called Automated Clearing House (ACH) for a fast and convenient delivery.

Using ACH eliminates the worries that mailing a check can cause, such as the possibility of losing the payment in the mail or not allowing enough time for arrival. It also adds the convenience of completing the payment through the easy use of a telephone.

How to apply for ACH

Applying for ACH and sending contribution payments through electronic transfer is simple and can be completed by following these steps:

1. Contact OP&F at 888-864-8363 to request enrollment information and an Employer ACH Letter of Understanding.
2. Complete and file the letter of understanding with OP&F.
3. OP&F will send the employer information to Huntington National Bank, or another designated bank, to process.
4. The bank will forward information for accessing ACH, such as a user name and password, to the employer.
5. The employer will access ACH through the information received from the bank and pay the contributions due.

Sign up for ACH by calling 888-864-8363 and access the convenient and quick way of paying contributions through the telephone via ACH.
