A one (1) time bank (ACH) payment authorization form allows a business to make a single withdrawal from a customer’s checking or savings account. The document includes the amount to be withdrawn, the date of the withdrawal, the customer’s banking information, and the customer’s signature. The merchant can add a fee if the withdrawal results in a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) payment rejection.

I understand that because this is an electronic transaction, these funds may be withdrawn from my account as soon as the above-noted transaction date. If the payment is rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), I understand that the Merchant may, at its discretion, attempt to process the charge again within thirty (30) days. I agree to an additional $[NSF CHARGE] charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized payment. I acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to my account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. I will not dispute the Merchant so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms indicated in this agreement.
