ACH Rules for 2026 and Beyond
Nacha SpeakersMichael Herd, Executive Vice President, ACH Network AdministrationBrad Smith, Senior Director, Industry Engagement and Advocacy As ACH volumes continue to climb—exceeding 33 billion payments annually—the 2026 Nacha Operating Rules introduce important updates around fraud monitoring, transaction clarity, and operational accountability. This session breaks down what’s changing, when it takes effect, and what it means for schools, originators, and third parties. We’ll also explore why ACH remains a high-value, low-cost payment rail for higher education, supporting tuition, refunds, and B2B payments efficiently and securely.
