Accepting ACH as a form of payment?

[Monica0705]

Hi Everyone! I’m a newbie to the forum! I have a large travel agency in Florida and wondering if DL, which I fly often, or any other airline will be accepting ACH on their website as a form of payment any time in the near future? My agency switched to ACH ever since my cc was compromised from an online purchase about a year ago. ACH is much more secure and it has cheaper transaction fees...as a merchant, I find it better all around. Just wondering if the airlines will eventually offer ACH on their site to purchase tickets!

Did you ask Delta Airlines? ...or any of the others?

Good question! DL takes PayPal, so ACH likely isn't out of the realm of possibility?

Passengers buying ticket via credit cards is challenging enough putting in the cc number expiration date and code from the back. Asking a passenger to correctly insert bank routing number , checking account number would be just as challenging. Banks are just to greedy on the service charges for using credit/debit cards. That process would be almost as bad as being in like with someone at the grocery store who still writes a check , can not find a pen and after all is done cant find their drivers license. NOT A GOOD IDEA I would think !!!
