Payments by ACH / EFT

[SarahG (FountainTribe)]

What would be involved in supporting ACH (This is sometimes called EFT) payments initiated by the donor on a CiviContribute page?   I looked at the JIRA issue at: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4138

Could that feature be used as a starting point? How can that feature be enabled?

My goal is for people to make a donation(or recurring payment) using their checking account instead of a credit/debit card.  Or that staff could set it up for someone using the back-office area of CiviCRM.

Here are payment processors supporting ACH that I am aware of. Please add to this list if there are more. This is an attempt to get the information in one place.

iATS (probably best supported): https://civicrm.org/extensions/iats-payments
Payzang: link to extension is broken? https://civicrm.org/extensions/payzang-payment-plugin-ach-processing-credit-and-debit-card-processing
Vanco (requires Drupal module and CiviCRM extension): https://www.drupal.org/project/vanco_payment https://github.com/backoffice/Vanco-processor https://civicrm.org/blogs/pkeogan/vanco-payment-processor-civicrm-33-34-and-41 (does anyone have info on how well it works?)

PayPal Pro (non-recurring ACH only): http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Payment+Processors

Are there any more supported ACH processors?
