How does ECS work?
ECS transactions are processed through a clearing house. The clearing house is a central location where banks send and receive payment instructions. When a bank wants to make an ECS payment, it sends the payment instruction to the clearing house. The clearing house then sends the payment instruction to the receiving bank. The receiving bank then credits the recipient’s account with the amount of the payment.
