Get Ready for IAT

Ready or Not, You’re Part of the Global Economy!

EPN, the ACH business of The Clearing House Payments Company, is urging financial institutions to prepare for the new IAT transactions in September, 2009.

The recent NACHA rule amendment and format change for International ACH Transactions (IAT) will allow U.S. financial institutions to recognize cross-border ACH payments. Beginning September 18, 2009, all U.S. financial institutions will be affected by the change – including those that are not currently sending or receiving international ACH payments – because they could potentially receive an IAT transaction.


Below are some resources to help you get ready for the new IAT.
