Updates to the NACHA Operating Rules in 2020 and 2021

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Nacha Operating Rules apply to every ACH participant, and several amendments took effect in 2020 and 2021, some with dates extended because of COVID-19. This 90-minute Nacha rules webinar reviews those changes and how they affect your operations.

You'll cover the expansion of Same Day ACH and the higher dollar limit for SDA transactions, the new options for returning unauthorized entries using the repurposed Return Reason Code R11, and what RDFIs and ODFIs must do for R10 and R11, including ODFI reporting requirements.

The session also reviews the six ACH Operations Bulletins Nacha issued in 2020, the ACH Contact Registry rule, the extended data security requirements for large Originators and third parties, the WEB debit fraud detection standard, updated funds availability and Nacha's request for comment on Meaningful Modernization.
