Payments processing giant Vantiv, along with Visa, unveiled a joint service for small businesses that aims to speed up settlement payouts from daily sales. Traditionally, sales payouts to businesses are subjected to the three- or four-day processing delay of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. But Visa and Vantiv say the new FastAccess Funding service will reduce settlement payouts to a matter of minutes.
