ACH Risk Management
BAI Webinar
September 8, 2010
Speaker: Terri Pelle Sands, AAP and Kathy Barry Levin, AAP

The ACH Network is growing at a rapid pace, and what has traditionally been a low risk network now has new nonrecurring payment types, additional participants/relationships, and increased risk for industry participants. This has caused regulatory agencies to focus more on ACH risk, and increased their requirements for how financial institutions are monitoring and managing it.

It is important for the ODFI, RDFI and Originator to all fully understand their unique risks in ACH participation in order to help protect their organizations from losses. Certain types of risk can increase during poor economic times, as both companies and individuals struggle. Once the inherent risks are understood, policies and procedures can be put into place to track, manage, and mitigate those risks.

In this webinar, the speakers will:

  • Review the types of ACH risk, including operational, financial and fraud, that exist for each participant

  • Discuss potentially higher-risk ACH transactions, third party relationships, and how to manage the increased risk associated with both

  • Help you to understand existing regulatory guidance that has been issued on ACH risk management and what it means to your organization.
