National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA), The Electronic Payments Association® has approved Same-Day ACH, an amendment to the NACHA Operating Rules to move payments faster. The rule enables a ubiquitous same-day capability for virtually any ACH transaction types, creating options for businesses, governments and consumers who wish to utilize faster payments. Same-Day ACH will build upon existing, next-day ACH Network capabilities and establish a new option for same-day clearing and settlement via ACH. Under the rule, two new same-day settlement windows will be added to the ACH Network, increasing the movement of funds between financial institutions from once a day to three times per day. Some analysts predict that Same-Day ACH will be a game-changer in the world of payments, as one of the industry’s first steps toward modernizing the payments system.
 
What does this new rule mean for Treasurer, Controller, accounts payable, or other departments within your company?  How can you take advantage of it?  Under what circumstances would it make sense to do so?  We invite you to learn more about Same-Day ACH with Jim Petkovits of WesPay.
