NACHA Request for Comment
Facilitating XML in ACH Payments
November 7, 2008
REQUEST FOR COMMENT - COMMENTS DUE January 9, 2009
NACHA requests comments on a proposal to amend the NACHA Operating Rules that would enable the use of XML-formatted remittance information for certain ACH payments. Comments on this proposal are due by January 9, 2009. Because this proposal has business and technology impacts that may go beyond those typically considered in a NACHA Request for Comment, NACHA specifically requests that interested parties circulate this RFC and help obtain input from organizations and departments that may be impacted, but that may not typically respond to NACHA RFCs. To accommodate this additional effort, NACHA is providing an extended timeframe to respond.
