Why You and Your Customers Need to Have the 2019 Rules

The ACH Network is thriving, moving an estimated 23 billion payments and transferring $50 trillion in 2018. As ACH payments become faster and smarter, amendments to the Nacha Operating Rules addressed expanding the capabilities of Same Day ACH, while also focusing on risk management and compliance.

  • Several other minor changes to the Rules include editorial changes to improve clarity or readability of language; changes to correct inconsistencies; changes to clarify intent and minor modifications to reflect current practices.
  • Purchasing the 2019 Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines is the ONLY way to obtain Supplement #1-2019, which contains updates to several Guidelines chapters, plus a new chapter - Chapter 56: Rules Compliance Audits. Chapter 56 provides detailed considerations for the completing of the annual Rules Compliance Audit. This new information (and any other updates issued in 2019) is exclusively available to those who have subscribed to the 2019 Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines.

Although various versions of the Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines are available for purchase (online resource, digital access and print), the printed version of the Rules governs in the event of a discrepancy or inconsistency. 

View our video to explore the benefits of having access to both the Nacha Operating Rules and the Nacha Operating Guidelines, as well as the features and functionality of the available Rules products.

(Print/Book) 2019 Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines

In 2018, a number of important amendments were made to the Nacha Operating Rules:

  • Three rules to enhance Same Day ACH – 1) sooner funds availability; 2) a higher dollar limit; and 3) longer processing hours.
  • Four rules to improve risk management and compliance – 1) a return for a questionable transaction; 2) supplementing the fraud detection standards for WEB debits; 3) supplementing the existing data security requirements; and 4) streamlining the presentation of the annual ACH Rules compliance audit.

The Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines in print is an essential component of every ACH Network participant’s library, as a valuable hard copy reference and a must for important and required contingency planning purposes.
