Course descriptions

ICB Credit: 2.5 CRCM

This three-part webinar series is designed specifically for banks. Each session builds off the last, providing attendees with ACH essentials. This program is the second in the series.

This webinar explores ACH authorization requirements, notifications of change (NOCs), written statements of unauthorized debit, and revoked authorizations in the ACH Network from the perspective of how each affects a bank and their customers. We will highlight appropriate ACH Rules, plus applicable laws and regulations. From initial obligations to ongoing requirements, we'll look at each issue from multiple perspectives, ensuring attendees have a holistic view of each process in order to properly manage risk. We will also explore common areas of confusion and situations that can create a Rules violation.

In addition to course materials, attendees will receive a free Notification of Change quick reference guide.

Note: Have your 2017 NACHA Operating Rules and Guidelines book (aka ACH Rules) handy! If you do not have an ACH Rules book, please contact your regional payments association, or order from www.nacha.org. The instructor will be providing page numbers for your reference throughout the program, so you might want a highlighter handy as well.
