As part of recent product enhancements — including our new Billing Groups feature — we have streamlined how bonus payments are processed and billed and we have transitioned from credit card payments to automatic ACH withdrawals for monthly bonus invoices.
This makes payments seamless, predictable, and cost-effective for your team. ACH enables fast, automated transfers — without the manual steps or credit card fees.
It also helps us support real-time bonusing at scale, so your technicians get paid accurately and on time, every time.
Security you can trust
Bank details entered for ACH payments are encrypted, tokenized, and never accessible to anyone at your company. All payment data is managed using industry-leading compliance protocols — so you can set up ACH with confidence.
Here’s what this means for you:
💸 No credit card fees — ACH eliminates the fees for credit cards
✅ Simplified billing — Payments are pulled automatically each month
📊 Full transparency — Real-time balances, organized billing groups, and full payment history
🔒 Bank-grade security — Encrypted and compliant with federal and industry standards
