Fed issues letter on new NACHA Rule for International ACH Payments
30 April 2008

We are being reminded by the Federal Reserve that the new NACHA Rule for international ACH payments takes effect in one year. On 20 March, 2009, NACHA rules will require every ACH payment entering or exiting the US to be identified and formatted as an international ACH (IAT) Transaction. I have given an Internet address in the main article which contains several helpful hyperlinks for education and training.

The additional information required in the IAT format by the Travel Rule ensures that specific information is provided with each payment:

  • Name and physical address of the originator.
  • Name and physical address of the receiver/beneficiary.
  • Originating bank name, identification number and branch country code.
  • Correspondent bank name, identification number and branch country code (if applicable).
  • Receiving bank name, identification number and branch country code.
  • Reason for the patyment.
