How to Export ACH Information from FIMS Database

If you are sending data to a third party for check printing, we do not recommend exporting all ACH data out. We recommend using the check export. The check export will decrypt ACH fields if the user has permission to decrypt them. The check export has all of the correct corresponding data like grantee, payee, etc.

The article below outlines encryption permissions:

See section 18 of this document for the check export process:

To export all ACH data from the FIMS database, you will need to do the following.
NOTE: These steps below are only for on-premises customers these steps cannot be done if you are using FIMS on Azure Cloud:

1. Log into FIMS with an account that has permissions to encrypt and decrypt fields. In order to export ACH data out of the database, it has to be un-encrypted. You can later encrypt it again after exporting. The database table to decrypt will be the ACH_Distribution table:
