- Why am I being assigned an ACH credit limit?
- ACH credit limit monitoring is a requirement of National Automated Clearinghouse Association (NACHA), but we are also implementing these limits to protect your company from overpaying employees and potential fraud.
- How is my ACH credit limit determined?
- Our Money Movement team has reviewed the direct deposit amounts from each of your Regular payrolls and determined an average amount plus an estimated allowance for common variations that may occur. Payrolls that are for tax reporting purposes only (RSU, stock options) will not impact the exposure limit. The exposure limit is imposed on direct deposit amounts only.
