Simplifying ACH Returns - Faster Returns in a Same-Day Environment

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Under the Nacha Operating Rules, ACH return timeframes have not changed with Same Day ACH, but the extra processing windows give RDFIs the option to settle returns faster. This Same Day ACH returns webinar explains how to use that option.

Same Day returns are not required, and they do not carry the Same Day entry fee. You'll review return timeframes, the legacy return process and its settlement, and how Same Day ACH changes the returns process, including returning NSF debits.

Multiple real-life scenarios show how the same-day window can change your returns process, and why same-day returns are not limited to same-day entries: any ACH item on your exception or reject report can be returned that day.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Many RDFIs still process exception items on day two without realizing they could return them the same day and get faster settlement at no Same Day fee. This session shows how to use the full potential of the return process.

It suits ACH operations staff and managers, compliance officers and auditors, electronic payments, treasury and risk professionals, AAPs earning continuing education credits, payroll processors and Originators.
