Reliable, efficient and predictable electronic paymentsBank of America’s Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic payment delivery system that allows you to pay or collect funds electronically through the ACH network — one of the world’s safest, most reliable payment networks. With greater speed, accuracy and efficiency, ACH offers more control over the timing of payments posting to your bank accounts. Use ACH to help improve forecasting, reduce exposure to check fraud, cut expenses and get faster access to funds. Fraud prevention with ACHSwitching from checks to ACH can greatly help reduce risks. Our fraud prevention tools can protect you against unauthorized transactions to your accounts. ACH Positive Pay with mobile approvals Take control of ACH transactions received in your accounts. Automatically accept authorized transactions from trading partners, decide whether to pay or return ACH exceptions in real-time, and update your ACH authorizations. Exceptions that require either primary or secondary approval, or both, can also be approved using your mobile device. Account Validation Prior to initiating electronic credits or debits in the U.S., our Account Validation service can help you validate whether a bank account is open and if it belongs to the person authorizing payment to or from the account. The service can also help you to comply with the Nacha WEB Debit Account Validation rule that went into effect on March 19, 2021. With this new rule, ACH Originators of WEB debit entries are required to use a “commercially reasonable fraudulent transaction detection system” to screen WEB debits for fraud. The supplemental requirements apply to the first use of an account number, or changes to the account number. Please visit Nacha.org for full rule details and/or rule modifications.

The rule applies only to account numbers collected for or used in ACH transactions. Going forward after calendar year 2021, any Originator, Third-Party Service Provider, or Third-Party Sender that originates 2 million or more ACH transactions in any calendar year will need to be compliant with the rule by June of the following calendar year.
