Request for Comment on Increasing the Same Day ACH Dollar Limit; Responses Requested by January 22, 2021
Nacha requests comment on a proposal for a series of three additional increases to the dollar limit for all Same Day ACH payments.  Since its inception in 2016, enhancements to Same Day ACH have been implemented on a set schedule.  In March 2020, the initial dollar limit on Same Day ACH payments was increased to its current level of $100,000.  The increase had an immediate impact on Same Day ACH usage, as the average amount of a Same Day ACH payment increased by 40%.  Nacha now seeks comment on additional increases to the Same Day ACH dollar limit.  Responses on this proposal are requested by Friday, January 22, 2021.
