The ACH transfers are sent in a batch, large group of transfers at one time to same receiving bank. You need to give your bank the sender and their bank name, date, amount, and Standard Entry Code if possible. That is a three digit code that designates how it was processed. You also want the 'trace number', similar to tracking number.
Your other problem is of you call or visit your local bank, the teller has no clue wtf they are talking about re this either. You want to sit down with the branch manager and ask them to call the ACH department and give them the info your provide.
The ACH department must track it down, by law. You also have to initiate claims within 30 days or it is considered good delivery. You're very protected legally if you initiate a claim in time.
It sounds like they were not aware of account type and don't have the wherewithal to manually look up your form and add the correct missing info. This is the problem with anonymous 'zendesk' queries.
When your bank does receive the money, it will be in a large transfer for many accounts at once. Global will batch their transactions to WP and WP probably batches all their clients as one Transat to each separate bank. The ACH, clearing house, has to pull the individual account info off each entry to properly credit the correct customer account. This can take them a day or two. Wires are sent individually from point A to point B and get credited within minutes with no real human interaction usually.
Not that it is helpful, but the reality is Global will eventually get it right. Their crime is disorganization and incompetence, not theft. I'd guess that Joey and Kimbr are able to do little more than request direct help from some other group of coworkers.
Honestly, I'd call Global directly, they're in the office now as it's midday in Australia. Phone number is highlighted below.
