ACH Exam Services
All participating financial institutions are required to conduct an annual audit of compliance with the Nacha Operating Rules, or to submit proof that an ACH exam has been conducted on their behalf.

Our Accredited ACH Professionals (AAPs) will evaluate your ACH operations and ensure compliance with the Nacha Rules.
