Nacha released a report on its latest Risk Management Framework today, providing a new strategy for industry participants in both the ACH Network as well as other payments systems to address new and persistent frauds that increasingly make use of credit-push payments.

Fraud keeps changing. As it does, participants in the payments system need to understand and adapt to emerging fraud scenarios and develop counterstrategies to help protect their customers and themselves. 

While most Financial Institutions are entering quality data in the ACH Contact Registry, Nacha has heard about some frustrations in using the Registry.

Increasing the Same Day ACH dollar limit to $1 million per payment posed no greater fraud risk than the prior $100,000 threshold, a new survey by Nacha’s Risk Management Advisory Group (RMAG) found. 

The next time you visit Nacha’s Risk Management Portal you’ll find several changes which are the direct results of industry input. 

Nacha has awarded Nacha Certified status for a second consecutive term to Paycor, a leading provider of Human Capital Management software.

A new ACH Risk Management Framework is taking shape to help keep the ACH Network safe. One particular focus is fraud involving credits and other push type payments.

Business Email Compromise numbers are down in the newest AFP fraud survey, which also finds checks continue to be most susceptible to fraud.

One of the best weapons in the fight against fraudsters is sharing information. It can also be one of the trickiest issues to navigate, given the many privacy concerns. Nacha’s Risk Management Advisory Group (RMAG) is working to address this.

Nacha’s new Third-Party Sender Roles and Responsibilities Rule changes come into effect on September 30, 2022.

Account takeover is a type of cybercrime or identity theft where a malicious third party gains access to (or “takes over”) an online account, such as an e-mail address, bank account, or social media profile.

A money mule is someone who transfers or moves illegally acquired money on behalf of someone else.

Ransomware is a type of malware that threatens to publish the victim's personal data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid.

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks are a form of cybercrime that uses email fraud to attack organizations. In 2020, the FBI (through IC3.gov) received 19,369 BEC/EAC complaints with adjusted losses of over $1.8 billion.

Nacha’s Risk Management Advisory Group has been evaluating potential risk increases and decreases due to Same Day ACH. It has consistently found no justification to fears that Same Day ACH would introduce massive amounts of risk.

Access to the Rules & Guidelines helps to identify new opportunities to leverage the ACH Network to meet customer’s needs, while maintaining a clear understanding of network requirements.
