Effective rule change

ACH funds-availability change is now in effect

A Nacha rule effective September 18 removes the prior-day 5 PM receipt condition for the 9 AM availability requirement on non-Same Day ACH credits. Receiving institutions may need changes for files arriving late the prior day or in the early morning.

Analysis

Analysis: test posting and available-balance timing across payroll, refunds and other credit flows, including weekends and exception queues. A documented rule change is only useful to customers if the ledger, digital balance display and service team give consistent answers.

What remains uncertain

This concerns non-Same Day ACH credit availability, not the effective date of Nacha’s separate fraud-monitoring changes. Limited time-zone exceptions apply; consult the rule for exact coverage.
