We Get Questions...

Q and A
Q.)  Do the Nacha Operating Rules dictate specific methods in which data at rest must be rendered unreadable under the Supplementing Data Security Rule?
A.)  The Rules are neutral as to the methods/technologies that may be used to render data unreadable while stored at rest electronically. Encryption, truncation, tokenization, destruction, or having the financial institution store, host, or tokenize the account numbers, are among options for Originators and Third-Parties to consider, but each Originator or TPSP will need to make its own business decision in consultation with its legal counsel and technology providers.

2020 ACH Rules

National Email Week June 12 - 18th

With billions of emails sent daily worldwide, it’s no wonder scammers use emails. A malicious email often looks like it comes from a known vendor, corporation,

individual, government agency, or even a financial institution, but is disguised to trick the recipient into disclosing personal and financial information, which could cause significant harm if successful. The National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have identified ways to protect you and your organization so that you don’t have to be a victim of a phishing scam. Here are some additional resources for you.
