It’s anything but a quiet Friday at Nacha. There are some big changes taking effect today (March 19) at the ACH Network:

Same Day ACH

The latest enhancement to Same Day ACH begins.

A third window for submitting same day payments gives ODFIs an extra two hours, until 4:45 p.m. ET. RDFIs will receive those payments within 45 minutes, with settlement by 6 p.m. ET.

For valuable information, visit our Same Day ACH Resource Center, or read how Same Day ACH is helping meet the nation’s need for faster payments.

Account Validation

The WEB Debit Account Validation Rule now makes it explicit that “account validation” is part of a “commercially reasonable fraudulent transaction detection system.”

Nacha’s Account Validation Resource Center has all of the information you need, including FAQs and End User Briefings.
