We wrote a blog about this sometime ago, that you can read here.

Local Payments are transactions processed using the local banking infrastructure of a specific country, such as ACH in the USA or SEPA in Europe.

Local payments are ideal for frequent, smaller transactions or intra-company transfers, while SWIFT is recommended for large B2B transactions.
