| FedACH Services Participation Agreement | |
|---|---|
| FedACH Services Participation Agreement This new FedACH Participation Agreement is effective as of June 1, 2009. Existing agreements currently in place with the Federal Reserve Banks will remain effective regardless of this change, and new agreements will not need to be re-submitted. As of June 1, 2009, this new participation agreement will be the only version accepted by FedACH to add, change or modify services. Before a financial institution begins to originate or receive FedACH items through the Federal Reserve Banks, a FedACH Participation Agreement must be completed and signed by an authorized individual at the institution. If a financial institution has updates to an existing agreement, only applicable portions should be completed and signed. The Agreement gives the Federal Reserve Banks authorization to direct items and settlement for FedACH participants. |
