International ACH Transactions (IAT)

This page will serve as your primary source of training and resources related to IAT transactions that became effective September 18, 2009. This rule change impacts every financial institution in the U.S. and any foreign organization sending payments into or receiving payments from the U.S. processed through the ACH.  This change is the most significant change to the U.S. ACH Network in recent history.

NOW is the time to ensure that you understand the new rules and implications to your financial institution.
