If you want to accept both ACH and cards, the best choice depends on your business model, but the most common “easy” options are:

Good all-in-one options

  • Stripe — best if you want a developer-friendly setup, subscriptions, ACH debits, and cards in one place.
  • Square — best for simple businesses and in-person + online payments, but ACH support is more limited than Stripe.
  • Adyen — strong for larger businesses or international use.
  • Dwolla — great for ACH-focused payments, but you’d usually pair it with a card processor if you need cards too.
  • Braintree — supports cards and ACH, often used for e-commerce and recurring billing.

Quick recommendation

  • If you’re online and want the simplest setup: Stripe
  • If ACH is your main priority and cards are secondary: Dwolla + a card processor
  • If you want simple small-business payments: Square
  • If you’re at scale / enterprise: Adyen or Braintree

Things to compare

  • Fees for cards vs ACH
  • ACH return risk / fraud handling
  • Recurring billing support
  • Payout speed
  • Developer APIs / integration
  • Whether you need hosted checkout or custom UI

If you tell me:

  1. your business type,
  2. whether you need subscriptions or one-time payments, and
  3. your monthly volume,

I can recommend the best provider more specifically.
