The NACHA Operating Rules are always changing, updates have recently been made and continue to be in place due to the current COVID-19 situation! Four ACH Operations Bulletins posted by Nacha in 2020 explain the updates to the Rules due to changes at financial institutions and extensions of effective dates in light of the current situation and confirm some Rule changes with current effective dates remaining.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
To remain in compliance with the Rules, participants in the ACH network need to ensure they are up to date on recent changes and newly approved amendments to the Rules. Discussion on the Operations Bulletins issued by Nacha will outline the updates to different Rules with our current situation and COVID-19. Recent RFC (Request for Comment) and an RFI (Request for Information) on even more possible changes will be discussed. Included will be the most recent amendment that affects all financial institutions using the ACH Network.
You will learn about the impacts of the ACH Contact Registration Rule – which went into effect on July 1, 2020!
This session will also cover the newly approved details and any recent updates by NACHA, plus how these changes affect you as a participant in the ACH network, whether you are an ODFI, an RDFI, or a TPS or TPSP. Changes such as Data Security requirements (effective date has been extended) and how Originators are affected by the Fraud Detection Standards for web debits. In addition, the processing of Unauthorized Returns has changed effective April 1, 2021, for phase 1 (phase 2 goes into effect April 1 of 2022) – As the RDFI, are you prepared for the proper use of R10 and R11 (what to do if you’re not ready) and as the ODFI, are you aware of changes to the ODFI Reporting Requirements for R11 and the Unauthorized Entry Fee?
