Discover the Impact of SDA (Same Day ACH) with Changes in 2021

Same Day ACH (SDA) was rolled out in three phases between September 2016 and March 2018, giving Originators and ODFIs the option to send and settle payments on the same day for a small fee. Amendments to the Nacha Operating Rules then expanded it with a third processing window and raised the dollar limit for a single SDA entry.

This 90-minute Same Day ACH webinar explains what these changes mean for Originators, ODFIs and RDFIs, outlining both the opportunities and the impact on ACH operations and processing.

You'll review the timing of the third window, the possibilities opened up by the higher per-entry limit, the procedures and rules compliance involved, and the effect on exception processing.

• Describe the Same Day ACH rule changes and how they expanded SDA
• Outline the changes and opportunities for Originators and ODFIs
• Identify the added responsibilities for RDFIs receiving SDA entries
• List the benefits of the third processing window for Originators and ODFIs
• Define the funds availability requirements for RDFIs
• Recommend procedure changes based on the rule changes

• Timing of the third processing window for SDA entries
• Impacts of the SDA expansion on participants
• Possibilities created by the higher dollar limit for a single SDA entry
• Procedures, opportunities and rules compliance for the additional processing window
• RDFI timing for faster funds availability on SDA and non-SDA entries
• Potential impact on exception processing

Raising the single SDA entry limit from $25,000 to $100,000 brings more entries, most likely B2B payments, into the network. Institutions can benefit by offering SDA to business customers, while RDFIs must apply the faster funds availability rules for SDA and non-SDA entries in posting.
