We Get Questions...

Q and A
Q.)  Can you confirm that verification of routing numbers is not required for PPD transactions? I know it’s a requirement for WEB debits
A.)   The ACH Rules for the TEL and WEB Standard Entry Class (SEC) codes require Originators to validate routing numbers prior to origination. Otherwise, the ODFI warrants that transactions originated are valid and authorized. Prenotes are optional for PPD transactions but they are recommended for recurring ACH debits. The Federal Reserve’s E-Payments Routing Directory (found at frbservices.org) is a helpful resource for confirming routing numbers. You can also check TCHPA’s Documents on Demand page for additional information about PPD, WEB and TEL transactions but you’ll need to login as this page is available to members only.
Have a question for TCHPA? Call 800-875-2242 (choose option 3) or email education.services@theclearinghouse.org.

Time for an ACH Tax Refund Refresher?

Tax season is here. Soon your account holders’ refunds will be rolling in. Does your team know how to tackle the exceptions in order to limit your financial institution’s liabilities?
Exception Handling of ACH Tax Payments
On Demand Recorded Webinar
Tax refund time comes with challenges for financial institutions when posting and returning refunds made through ACH. Scenarios are used in this session to show attendees how to handle refunds that post to the correct account number, but wrong tax payer, and the potential for fraud when an account receives multiple tax refunds. Learn what the IRS and individual states are doing to combat tax refund fraud. This session was recorded in 2019 but the information presented is still relevant in 2020. No charge for TCHPA members.

Keeping your information up-to-date.

Have you recently changed email formats? Is there a merger on the horizon for your financial institution? Has it been awhile since you let us know about employees who have left your organization? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, we want to hear from you. It’s important that you keep us in the loop so your monthly billing statements are delivered to the appropriate person, that website profiles are disabled when an employee leaves your organization, and that we’ve got contact information for your newest employees so they too are aware of all the free training and available resources? Be sure to contact TCHPA Member Services at education.services@theclearinghouse.org or call (800) 875-2242 (option 3) when changes occur that impact your membership and your team.
