An ODFI (originating depository financial institution) is a bank that sends an ACH file on behalf of its customer. ACH Pro requires a single ODFI in every ACH file.
Note that when creating an ACH file, you can either specify an existing ODFI using its odfiId or you can pass an ODFI from scratch. Passing from scratch allows you to use a one-off ODFI config without needing it to exist in ACH Pro.
