Web hosting that can support ACH services

And another off-board but on topic question. My google-fu is returning legions of nonrelevant links.

Customer is moving from having a simple static self-hosted website to an externally hosted more dynamic one in order to accept payments (not a storefront, these are loan and permit payments). They already use an outside resource for taking credit card payments (which the new site will point to for that purpose) but also want to handle ACH payments from their business customers. They want this function to be 'on their website' or at least appear to be (cobranded?), which leaves out the easy ones I found (USBank, etc) that act like the credit card handler and are clearly their own site when using them. I have a query in to USBank specifically about co-branding or equivalent but their website didn't provide promising info.

I'm hoping someone out there has experience with the various hosting vendors and can provide a recommendation so we can limit our search a bit.

Thanks in advance...

I don't think it works that way. For a while I worked for a software company that wrote software to web-enable cash management stuff like that, and we sold to banks only.

I suspect the best you're going to be able to do is have, on your website, a link to where your financial institution handles stuff like this on the web.

Not that familiar w. that kind of stuff, but we never set up an ACH payment over a website... I don't know that I would be comfortable doing that...
