For which geographic locations is ACH commission settlement available for Brain Balance franchises?

According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, ACH (Automated Clearing House) commission settlement is available for most bank accounts in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and New Zealand.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that Brain Balance can electronically debit franchise fees and other payments directly from their bank account if it is held at a bank in one of the listed countries. This simplifies the payment process, potentially reducing administrative overhead and the risk of late payments.

However, it is important to note that the FDD states ACH commission settlement is available for "most" bank accounts, implying that there may be some exceptions depending on the specific bank or account type. A prospective franchisee should confirm with Brain Balance whether their specific bank account is eligible for ACH commission settlement to avoid any issues with payment processing.
