The Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic
network for financial transactions in the United
States. ACH processes large volumes of credit and
debit transactions in batches network. |

ACH is
a highly reliable and efficient nationwide batch-oriented
electronic funds transfer system governed by the National
Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) Operating Rules
which provide for the interbank clearing of electronic
payments for participating depository financial
institutions. The Federal Reserve and Electronic Payments
Network act as ACH Operators, central clearing facilities
through which financial institutions transmit or receive ACH
entries.
How Does ACH Work?
|
| 1. |
Merchant authorizes a company/individual (Originator) to initiate a transaction to their financial institution account. |
| 2. |
The Originator prepares information about the transactions that are to be automated by the merchant and passes it along to an Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI). |
| 3. |
The ODFI collects ACH transactions from participating companies, consolidates the information and presents it to the ACH Operator. (The ODFI may retain entries for its own account holders) |
| 4. |
ACH Operator processes transaction files from submitting ODFIs and distributes it to Receiving Depository Financial Institutions (RDFls). |
| 5. |
The RDFI receives entries for its customer accounts and posts entries on the settlement date. Transactions are also reported on account statements. The RDFI may, however, reject the ACH transaction and return it to the ODFI if, for example, the account had insufficient funds or the account holder indicated that the transaction was unauthorized. An RDFI has a prescribed amount of time in which to perform returns, ranging from 2 to 60 days from the receipt of the ACH transaction. However, the majority of returned transactions are completed within 24 hours from midnight of the day the RDFI receives the transaction.
- Time day 60. However when a consumer receives a statement on day 30, under Regulation E, the consumer can dispute the
transaction until day 90. The RDFI is at risk from day 60 to 90 due to the different timelines. |
