Since the publication of the 2010 edition of the ACH Rules, NACHA’s Voting Membership has approved two amendments to the NACHA Operating Rules. The amendment on Rules Simplification provides a more user-friendly set of rules and guidelines for ACH Network participants through (1) the re-organization and re-grouping of material by each type of participant in the ACH Network, and (2) the use of clearer and more consistent language to facilitate user understanding and compliance with the Rules. The Mobile ACH Payments Rule establishes a framework in the NACHA Operating Rules for the initiation of consumer debit entries via a mobile device.

The Rule changes for both Rules Simplification and Mobile ACH Payments will become effective on January 1, 2011. Details of these changes are outlined in the supplement.

Please include these materials with your 2010 edition of the ACH Rules to ensure that your rulebook is up to date. The online version of the ACH Rules will include this information under the supplement tab for download. Instructions to access ACH Rules Online is provided on the back cover page of the 2010 ACH Rules book.
