Most banks will verify that the applicant has access to the accounts being debited. No transactions are allowed until that is verified. Typically, the bank deposits a small amount (<$1.00) into the target account and requires the applicant to verify the amount deposited before activiting the account for ACH access. If you are not doing something similar, you are at risk for returns for unauthorized debits and your applicant is going to be long gone.
