Have you identified all of your ACH processing risks? If not, let our team of payments experts assist you!
The Nacha Operating Rules require all participating DFIs to conduct an assessment of the risks of its ACH Activities.
Article One, Subsection 1.2.4 Risk Assessments states:
A Participating DFI must:
(a) Conduct, or have conducted, an assessment of the risks of its ACH activities;
(b) Implement, or have implemented, a risk management program on the basis of such an assessment, and
(c) Comply with the requirements of its regulator(s) with respect to such assessment and risk management programs.
Regulatory changes, new payment applications, evolving technologies, and increasing threats from fraud all contribute to heightened risk environment. Combined with continuous changes to the Nacha Operating Rules, effectively managing your ACH processing risk is critical to your institution, and an accurate, thorough assessment of your risk environment is a crucial first step.
