# Make an ACH Payment as an Agency

You can set up direct deposits and automatic payments for your impact.com account. This will automatically pay your impact.com Fees as well as your Partner Payment Invoices. You will need to make a successful ACH payment (direct deposit) before you can set up automatic payments.
