Why Fraud Prevention Requires More Than Technology

Nacha’s Phase 2 ACH fraud-monitoring requirements are now in effect. The question for community banks is no longer simply whether a policy was updated. It is whether the team can show how a potentially suspicious ACH item moves from an initial signal to a reasoned, documented outcome.

Join Finovifi for a practical educational session on the operating processes behind risk-based ACH monitoring, including alert review, escalation, decision authority, documentation, and annual review.

What attendees will learn

  • How risk-based ACH monitoring differs by role, including RDFI, ODFI, Originator, and Third-Party Sender responsibilities
  • What a traceable monitoring process looks like from signal through investigation, decision, and documentation
  • Where institutions commonly need clearer ownership, escalation paths, and after-hours coverage
  • How to use account and transaction context to prioritize reviews without treating a signal as a conclusion
  • What to examine during annual review and ahead of upcoming ACH changes
  • How ACH RiskLens can support monitoring, investigation, review, escalation, and documented processes
