Authorization Form Requirement

NACHA (National Automated Clearing House Association) establishes rules for all ACH transactions in the United States. All clients must meet NACHA Operating Rules, including the following requirements related to ACH Authorization Forms.

You must collect a signed authorization form from all clients, vendors, employees, or other third parties before initiating any debit or credit transaction to or from their account(s).

Completed authorization forms must be retained for two (2) years after the authorization is terminated or revoked.

We may periodically request copies of these authorization forms to verify your compliance with NACHA guidelines.
