Also a service that features a service where you can log in and check
which checks have gone through, and such would be very nice -- similar

Hello Robert,

The length of time required for an ACH check to clear depends on a
number of factors, including the underwriting policies of both the
sending and receiving banks, and traffic through the ACH system
itself.  (ACH transactions processed just before or just after a
Federal holiday are a little slower.)

Most ACH transfers are completed within 72 hours, some take slightly
longer.  To the best of my knowledge, the fastest any such payment
will clear is 72 hours.

This answer explains how the ACH system works:
