Overview
Financial institutions, third-party senders and third-party service providers must follow the Nacha Operating Rules, which change every year. This 90-minute webinar reviews the rule changes adopted for 2020 and 2021 and their impact on ACH operations.
Topics include faster funds availability for all ACH entries, a new Same Day ACH processing window that added two more hours, and a higher per-transaction limit for Same Day ACH entries. RDFIs also had to change how they return unauthorized entries after Return Reason Code R11 was reclassified to separate the reasons an entry is unauthorized.
The session also covers ACH risk management and quality rules: supplementing the fraud detection standard for internet-initiated (WEB) debits and the account information security requirements for large Originators and third parties.
Why attend: ACH Network participants must keep up with recent changes and newly approved amendments to stay compliant. This session explains how the changes affect you whether you are an ODFI, an RDFI, a third-party sender or a third-party service provider. It suits ACH operations and compliance staff, ACH auditors, banking staff, aspiring Accredited ACH Professionals (AAPs) and AAPs seeking continuing education credits.
