Which entity initiates the direct deposit process in the ACH system?

Receiving Financial Institution
Employee
Employer
Employee Union

The correct answer is: Employer

In the ACH system, the entity that initiates the direct deposit process is the employer. The employer is responsible for providing the necessary authorization and information to the financial institution to initiate the direct deposit of funds into the employees' accounts. This process is typically handled by the employer's payroll department or a third-party payroll provider on behalf of the employer. It's important to note that the other options are not correct because: - The receiving financial institution receives the direct deposit transaction but does not initiate it. - The employee is the recipient of the direct deposit but does not initiate the process. - The employee union represents the employees' interests but does not typically initiate direct deposit transactions on their behalf.
