ACH Basics

Description:

Beginner Seminar

ACH Basics has been designed to introduce the process and benefits of ACH to operations staff and frontline customer & member support staff (tellers, platform, and branch employees). Can your staff answer electronic payment questions or know how to get help? Can your staff protect your organization from risk or loss?

ACH terms and concepts are becoming more common as consumer checks are converted and federal agencies introduce programs. ACH transaction growth has averaged over 15% the past five years because more companies are paying their employees via direct deposit and collecting payments via ACH.
