Most homeowners are familiar with receiving reimbursement checks by mail—but America’s Preferred Home Warranty (APHW) now offers a faster, digital alternative: reimbursement through ACH.

Whether you’re already tech-savvy or just looking for a more efficient way to receive your claim payments, here’s everything you need to know about ACH reimbursement and how to set it up.

What Is ACH?

Let’s start with the basics: ACH stands for Automated Clearing House—a secure digital network that processes payments between bank accounts.

While ACH has been around for decades, it’s made a strong comeback thanks to its speed, security, and simplicity—all reasons why APHW has made it a part of our flexible payment options.

“We knew offering ACH would help us continue to give homeowners the convenience they deserve,” said Mike Sadler, APHW’s Vice President of Operations.

Why APHW Added ACH Reimbursement

At APHW, we’re always looking for ways to improve the homeowner experience. According to Mike, adding ACH was about one thing: getting your money to you faster.

“To provide the best customer experience possible, we needed to get reimbursements back to the consumer as quickly as possible,” he said. “We took painstaking effort to ensure the process was simple and user-friendly—and we thoroughly tested the system to ensure it’s reliable.”

While mailed checks are still a dependable option, ACH gives you the choice to receive your payment digitally—often faster and with less hassle.

How To Set Up ACH for Claim Reimbursement

Setting up ACH is easy, but there are a few important steps to follow to ensure everything runs smoothly:

  1. Use a valid account: You can use either a checking or savings account for ACH reimbursement.
  2. Locate your routing and account numbers: Use our simple guide to find these numbers quickly—no need to dig through old paperwork.
  3. Enter accurate bank details: Double-check that your information is correct so your payment lands in the right account.
  4. Watch for your funds: Once processed (taking bank holidays into account), your reimbursement should arrive within a few days.

“No more worrying about lost checks or incorrect mailing addresses,” Mike added. “With ACH, your reimbursement is on its way—fast, safe, and directly to you.”
