I think that is intentional to steer people that way. the ACH is run by the federal reserve (where all interbank paper checks go to be settled anyway) while wires may or may not be. It is weird that there is a higher processing overhead for a paper check (cheque to people on other continents) yet that incurs no cost whereas a wire has much lower processing overhead and its often much more expensive. Almost like people in this country are being steered to use the ACH system one way or the other. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
