    ACH processing for '07 - Just a heads up!

    You better be sure that your ACH processor is using "acceptable means" of authenticating your transactions. If they are not, be prepared to grab your ankles!

    10 years and WTS is STILL..."Ahead of the Competition and Behind Your Business!"

    Happy Holidays,

    Could you explain "acceptable means" so I can ensure that ours is?

        Since I'm not the one who can state exactly what is "acceptable" and what is not (we'll leave that to the regulators), an easy way to figure it out is to ask yourself two basic questions...

        1) What is being done to validate that the ABA and Account numbers are correct, before presenting them to the ACH network??? (a quick glance at your reason codes on your Returns can clue you in on this. If they contain mostly "invalid account", "unable to locate", "account closed", "unauthorized", etc.... then guess what?!)

        2) What is being done to authenticate or verify that the consumer is who they say they are???

        Simply put, if you can use any ABA & Account number and/or randomly use anybody's name & address (without having to verify any pertinent, personal info) and the transaction gets processed... then chances are, you are NOT using acceptable means of authentication!

        Hope this helps.

          All I know is that my WTS payouts are huge, where as my Epoch and CCBill check signups are huge.... but how little I actually get paid from those 2... yikes! I think you guys at WTS must send goons with baseball bats to the houses of Check deadbeats, 'cause they all clear sooner or later!

            So, educate a laymen who doesn't have much experience with ACH (Being that I'm Canadian, we're lucky to have electricity). What are the consequences if your ACH processor isn't following the above guidelines?

            Mostly just curious, I'm not a fan of ACH myself, but I like to know as much as I can.

                      You must have consulted that Confucius book when crafting that first response post.
