# SecureFields Bank Account

Before you can create an ACH charge, you must first collect and verify your customer’s bank account and routing number. In order to properly identify the bank account, you also need to collect the name of the person or business who owns the account. When a user enters a bank account, the information is converted to a token. The token can be used to send a payment request later, instead of using the actual bank account.

### Adding HTML markup for SecureFields

```markup
<form id="ach-form">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Routing Number</label>
    <div id="routing-number"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Account Number</label>
    <div id="account-number"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>First name</label>
    <div id="first-name"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Last name</label>
    <div id="last-name"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Business name</label>
    <div id="business-name"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Email</label>
    <div id="email"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>&nbsp;</label>
    <div class="d-flex">
      <button type="submit" id="btn-create-card" class="btn btn-success mr-3">Create Bank Account</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>
```

### Initializing JS SDK

```javascript
PayEngine.SecureFields.create().then((form) => {
  const cardName = form.field("#routing-number", {
    type: "number",
    name: "routing_number",
    placeholder: "Routing Number",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  form.field("#account-number", {
    type: "number",
    name: "account_number",
    successColor: "#4F8A10",
    errorColor: "#D8000C",
    placeholder: "Account Number",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  form.field("#first-name", {
    type: "text",
    name: "first_name",
    successColor: "#4F8A10",
    errorColor: "#D8000C",
    placeholder: "First Name",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  form.field("#last-name", {
    type: "text",
    name: "last_name",
    successColor: "#4F8A10",
    errorColor: "#D8000C",
    placeholder: "Last Name",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  //if business name needs to be captured, then
  form.field("#business-name", {
    type: "text",
    name: "account_name",
    successColor: "#4F8A10",
    errorColor: "#D8000C",
    placeholder: "Business Name",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  //if email needs to be captured, then
  form.field("#email", {
    type: "email",
    name: "email",
    successColor: "#4F8A10",
    errorColor: "#D8000C",
    placeholder: "email",
    validations: ["required"],
    css,
  });
  document.getElementById('ach-form').addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    try {
      const cardObj = await form.createBankAccount();
      console.log({ cardObj });
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
    }
  });
});
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payengine.co/developer-docs/processing-payments/secure-fields/securefields-bank-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
