{% hint style="warning" %}
\*\*Payment methods cannot be edited.\*\* If your card or account details change (e.g., a new expiration date), you must remove the old payment method and add a new one with the correct details.
{% endhint %}

## ACH Bank Account Setup

ACH (bank transfer) payments are a free, convenient, and secure way to pay your invoices directly from your bank account. When you add a bank account in your customer payment dashboard, your details are saved for future use so you can pay quickly without re-entering them each time.

Some banks require new accounts to be whitelisted for ACH debits before payments can be processed. If your bank has this requirement, you will need to contact your bank directly and ask them to whitelist the following Originator ID for Alternative Payments:

**Originator ID: 8263863381**

{% hint style="info" %}
Alternative Payments does not provide step-by-step instructions for whitelisting with individual banks, as each bank's process is different. Please contact your bank directly to complete the whitelisting process.
{% endhint %}

You're all set! **🎉**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.alternativepayments.io/end-customer-faqs/end-customer-faqs/managing-my-payment-methods.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
