Recent updates to the Nacha Operating Rules are further clarifying the Roles and Responsibilities of Third-Party Senders (TPSs) who use the ACH network. The purpose of the update is to explicitly identify the use of not just TPSs but also “nested” TPS.

Both Rules become effective Sept 30, 2022, with a 6-month grace period for certain aspects of each Rule.
