US-based Stripe users can receive USD payments directly from a customer’s bank account instead of a credit or debit card by using Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. You can activate ACH payments from your Dashboard by following these steps

1. Log in to Stripe dashboard
2. Navigate to ACH Terms of Service
3. Tap Enable ACH to accept the Terms of Service and enable ACH payments on your account.
