EPayResources Admin / Friday, February 27, 2026 / Categories: Products Practices & Procedures That Work for ACH Origination Practices & Procedures That Work for ACH Origination focuses on how ODFIs translate policy, risk assessment, and oversight decisions into effective day-to-day operational practices. Well-written procedures do more than document requirements. They guide staff responses, support consistency, and reduce the risk of error when conditions change. This course examines how ACH practices and procedures should align with board-approved policy, origination agreements, and the ODFI’s operational reality. Learners explore key procedural areas such as file creation and transmission, exception handling, notification of change processing, reversals, returns, and coordination across internal teams and third-party relationships. Through applied examples and knowledge checks, the course reinforces why procedures must evolve as origination activity, products, and systems change. Static or outdated procedures create operational gaps, while overly rigid procedures fail when judgment is required. Effective procedures balance clarity with flexibility and are designed to work under real-world conditions. Estimated learner time: 15•20 minutes, depending on pace and interaction with the knowledge checks. This course is designed for ACH operations staff, risk and compliance professionals, and others responsible for maintaining, executing, or reviewing ACH origination procedures within an ODFI. This course is available exclusively to members of ePayResources.
