A2Z of ACH - Transaction Flows and Standard Entry Class Codes - Part 1

Why Should You Attend:

This session will guide attendees through the life of a typical, domestic ACH transaction, both credit and debit, and who the network participants are. Transactions in the ACH network use special codes called Standard Entry Class Codes, or SECs. ACH can provide businesses with fast, cost effective payment processing, but various types of transactions require different actions from your business. Businesses take on more risk if they process the wrong transaction type or don’t follow all of the ACH Rule requirements. From payroll to consumer debits, this course will define SECs that a business would use, evaluate examples of when the SEC is appropriate, and isolate processing requirements.

This is a great time to double-check your operational procedures and make sure your business is using the network effectively. For businesses who are not yet processing ACH transactions, this is a great opportunity to better understand what types of transactions are available and what is required.

In addition to course materials, attendees will receive a free business Quick Reference Guide for Standard Entry Class Codes. We encourage attendees to keep your ACH Rules book handy. You can get a copy from your financial institution, a regional payments association in your area, or order one from www.nacha.org.
