NACHA Extends International Deadline; Newsletter and Quiz Available

Last week, NACHA announced the delay of its International ACH Transaction rules and formats for six months.  In their words:

NACHA’s Board of Directors has extended the effective date of the International ACH Transaction (IAT) rules and formats for six months, to September 18, 2009. NACHA and the two ACH Operators - the Electronic Payments Network and the Federal Reserve - strongly encourage financial institutions to have all production software implemented by March 20, 2009, the original effective date, and to use the six-month extension for additional process documentation, testing with the ACH Operators, and customer education, training and testing.
