I'd assume a 24-48 hour delay is plausible for anti-laundering controls. A week or more, which is standard with Intuit, is not plausible - the feds would not require that of anyone in our situation - they are not here to stop the economy in its tracks. Plus, these are small amount domestic transactions (in the case of our business, a few a month, anywhere from $100 - $2500, and always from a different one-time client). The small amount of business we do this way is unlikely to flag as a risk for a laundering scheme.
So I maintain that, in the context of QBO holding on to their clients' money for more than a week on ACH's, it's bizarre to excuse is as an FBI thing. I think Intuit would be offering up that same excuse if true because it would add legitimacy to what is simply a cynical business practice.
I said at the beginning of this thread: It's not complicated: They want their 3% on your credit card transactions. If you're going to use an ACH instead, where they make nothing above their existing subscription charges that we already pay, then they will find another way to make money on it. Holding the money for a week is one way.
I'm not going to sit here and argue with you because in light of what you just said you aren't intelligent enough to depict what I have stated. I'll lay it out in simple terms maybe you can understand. I don't know, maybe go read what I wrote again. Nowhere did I mention that THIS is SOLELY the reason that QB is doing this. It is only one factor of many that both banks and QB do things like this.
Get over yourself. It is true and happens all the time. Even when I was trading, there were SEC measures in place to combat fraud. Especially money laundering.

"Hello there, rstran.
Yes, QuickBooks will charge from $1 to $10 every transaction using QuickBooks Payment. The amount will be debited from your bank account the same day your money is deposited into your account.
This helps your bank to process the payment faster."

This is untrue. Do you work for Intuit, and are they telling you to say this?
The fee intuit charges to release the funds in a timely manner doesn't help MY bank do anything.
My bank processes ACH's like any normal bank, at normal speed, without excessive delay. There is no way for me to pay them to make that go faster.
