  1. Submitting Payment by Credit ACH

    Making a payment using the Credit Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) method involves the transfer of funds from your bank account to the South Carolina Employment Security Commission bank account. The employer must have appropriate banking software in order to utilize this method. There is generally associated cost with this method; bank software, transmission fees and per item fees. If this is the payment method you choose complete an Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and follow these instructions.

    We use the CCD+ format for ACH funds transfer. To initiate a funds transfer, you will need the following information.
  • Receiving Depository Financial Installation (RDFI) – National Bank of South Carolina (NBSC)
     
  • RDFI Transit Routing Numbers – 053200666
     
  • Receiver Account Number – 4563931801

The completed Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement may be faxed to 803-737-5679 or mailed to the address below. The quarterly contribution and wage reports must be mailed to the following address:
