Financial institutions are often faced with handling consumer disputes of ACH debits; many situations aren’t covered in the ACH Rules book guidelines nor is there any clear direction from other resources. This session focuses on the most common disputes and provides staff with a basic understanding of what is required to maintain compliance plus tips on handling these issues.
The course concludes with some real-life “sticky situations” where attendees try their hand at solving the issue while balancing compliance obligations with customer service.
Excellent for someone new to these situations and as a refresher for those of us who have a few ACH battle wounds.
