What happens if I make an ACH mistake?
If you’ve processed an ACH transaction that is undeliverable, or has been flagged as inaccurate or not compliant, you will receive an ACH Notice or an ACH Return. This demo will show you where to find these notifications and what to do next.
Your responsibilities as an ACH originator
Using the ACH network is a privilege. NACHA rules require you to abide by a certain set of standards — before, during, and after sending a payment.
If you don’t follow the rules, your transactions might be returned, your ACH access could be restricted, or you may face financial penalties.
