Nacha “Meaningful Modernization” changes to improve and simplify the ACH user experience are scheduled to take effect next month.
Details: Effective Sept. 17, the Nacha improvements will define a “Standing Authorization” and expand the use of oral authorizations for consumer ACH payments.
Impact: The changes will help ACH network participants address the effects of new technologies on payments, such as obtaining oral authorization via voice assistants or using Zoom instead of a telephone.
ICBA Position: In an April 2020 comment letter, ICBA said it generally supports the changes to reduce ACH barriers, increase flexibility and consistency for authorizing consumer ACH payments, and reduce certain administrative burdens.
