# Local payment methods

> Pay with regional, non-card payment options like ACH, iDEAL, SEPA, crypto, and more, with no additional setup required.

  Beyond card payments, Whop supports a wide range of local payment methods (LPMs), so customers can pay using the options most common in their region. You don't need to do anything to enable these — eligible options appear automatically at checkout.

  ## Which local payment methods display at checkout?

  Local payment methods will automatically appear at checkout if:

  * Customer is in **eligible geography** (based on IP address)
  * The checkout link is in an **eligible currency**
  * The checkout link does not exceed the **maximum price** supported by the LPM
  * The **pricing type** (i.e. one-time payment vs subscription) is supported by the LPM
  * The merchant has not **disabled the payment method** when configuring the link

  <p>
    Local payment methods depend on the customer's geography, not the merchant's.
    For example, a customer in the Netherlands will see iDEAL – even if the
    merchant is based in the US. A customer in the US may see ACH or Cash App.
  </p>

  <Tip>
    If an LPM is not appearing on a customer's checkout, make sure the link was
    created in an eligible currency and the customer is in an eligible geography
    and is not using a VPN.

  ## Bank transfers

  #### 1. US Bank Transfer (ACH)

  ACH (Automated Clearing House) is the main US bank-to-bank transfer network. Customers pay directly from their bank account with low fees and high reliability, and it's one of the most trusted options for larger US transactions.

  * **Currency:** USD
  * **Min–max amount:** {"$0.50-$1M"}
  * **Fees:** 0.8% (capped at \$5)

  * **Settlement:** 4 business days from payment creation (Stripe). Eligible US merchants can get 2 business days. Then normal payout to your bank.
  * **Refunds:** Yes. Full and partial refunds supported. Processed from your balance; timing to customer's account depends on their bank (often 5–10 business days).
  * **Disputes:** Yes, but final. Only 3 NACHA reasons: (1) never authorized or authorization revoked, (2) processed earlier than authorized, (3) amount different from authorized. No appeal.
