Curriculum

The NACHA Operating Rules have specifics for you to follow to be sure you comply with the Rules each time you help your account holder with their request(s), whether it’s a Stop Payment Request or Returning an ACH Unauthorized Entry.

Customer service and operations staff struggle each day with the question – “What does my account holder want me to do…Stop this payment, I never authorized this, return it, they revoked it, — what are my next steps?”

This 90-minute information-filled payments webinar covers everything you need to know about Stop Payments and doing Extended Return Entries (a.k.a. Unauthorized Returns, Authorization Revoked and Improper Entries). Timeframes will be covered, including the effects of Same Day additional windows to allow for a “Faster Return” process.

Details include when should you use a Stop Payment form, when to use a WSUD (Written Statement of Unauthorized Debit) – and what needs to be on each of those forms, and why, will be covered in this session.

Relying on the SEC Code when doing Returns is a big deal and will be addressed in this session – What is the SEC Code of the Entry you are Returning – will determine what Return Reason Code and the timeframe plus the paperwork needed or not.
