Q.) Do you have an updated Written Statement of Unauthorized Debit (WSUD) available at no charge to members? The form I have has a revision date of 02-2011. I am looking for a form that includes the R11 reason code and can’t find one on your website.
A.) Yes! We review and revise all forms each year (if necessary) and place a new PDF on the Documents on Demand page of our website. The WSUD has been updated for 2020 and includes instructions related to the R11 return code. You’ll need to login to view/download as these resources are reserved for members only. You’ll need to create a profile, if you have not already done so, use your FI-formatted email address, and choose your financial institution from the drop down list when prompted for your organization name. Once your profile is activated, you will have full access to the site and all member benefits. Follow this path to the Members Only section of our site - My Account > Members Only > Sign In > Documents On Demand.

Unemployment Fraud – The Fallout and Lessons Learned
New On-Demand Webinar - Just Added
Fraudsters love disruption, and there has been plenty of that in 2020. In May, programs designed to disburse money to the unemployed attracted fraudsters who used money mules, identity takeover, and other schemes to profit from the chaos brought on by COVID-19. It was an expensive lesson for many state agencies. In their rush to get the funds into the hands of those who were truly entitled, many fraudulent claims (and payments) were processed. RDFIs could have let payments post to valid accounts but took action when they realized something wasn’t right, and their efforts undoubtedly saved Originators millions of dollars. Learn how your peers navigated their way through the massive unemployment fraud scheme and what needs to happen to avoid similar fraud scenarios in the future.

AAP, APRP and NCP Alliances in Action
TCHPA Alliance Meetings for Accredited ACH Professionals, Accredited Payments Risk Professionals and National Check Professionals provide member AAPs, APRPs and NCPs with an opportunity to gather and ‘talk shop’ with their peers. Alliance Meetings are run by accredited volunteers and supported by TCHPA staff. Meetings are typically scheduled in-person in areas where the greatest number of members are located but we shifted to virtual meetings in 2020 when the pandemic hit and on October 21st approximately 120 certified professionals participated in our Alliance Meetings. Accredited members from financial institutions and companies of all sizes joined the conversation. Most came from Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico but all had one thing in common - payments! We are grateful to all but especially our meeting moderators, John Biloz of JPMorgan Chase (Chicago Committee Co-chair) and Maggy Usher of Southern Michigan Bank and Trust (Michigan Committee Co-chair) who were responsible for the AAP/APRP Alliance agenda and Jayne Ross of Mercantile Bank of Michigan for her contributions to the NCP Alliance agenda.
