WEBINAR DETAILS
Some of today’s most common payment questions pertain to consumer person-to-person (P2P) transfers via the ACH Network and third-party payment applications. Most often, these questions are about fixing something that went wrong. These problems include fraud, incorrect account numbers, and buyer’s remorse — all of which can result in losses for your institution. This topic is even more consequential because the CFPB recently issued updated FAQs that highlight the importance of the financial institution’s role in the error resolution process.

• ACH rules for P2P entries
