ACH Debit filters

1. What are Verizon's ACH Company IDs?

For various reasons, including fraud and asset protection within financial institutions, it's becoming more common that account holders in the United States request that their bank set up a “debit filter” on their bank account. 

The intention of the debit filter is to block all unauthorized debit transactions to a specific account, making it less likely that an account holder will incur fraud.  For ACH transactions that an account holder wants to be debited from their account, the account holder will give a listing of ACH IDs to their bank, which will allow authorized debits to process. These debit transactions, or ACH IDs, are identified by a 10 digit company ID. 

Verizon uses various banks to send debits to our client’s accounts and has multiple company IDs attached to each of these accounts. The reason for this is to ensure that debits are processed timely, and for disaster recovery purposes. For example, if a bank is doing an upgrade to their system causing a delay, Verizon will send a debit from a different account at a different bank. 

We have no way to know if our customers have debit filters on their accounts. If you have debit filters on your account, please forward the following Verizon Company IDs to your bank for set up.

You can set up IDs associated with the product(s) you're processing with Verizon. 

  • Wireless one-time ACH payments: 212923
  • Wireless Auto Pay recurring ACH payments: 6223344794
  • Wireline & Fios Auto Pay recurring & one-time payments: 9783397101

Please ensure your bank has properly included the above Company IDs as authorized for Verizon to debit your banking account.
