What is ACH operations?

ACH Operations refer to the management and processing of Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions, which are electronic payments and money transfers between banks in the United States. Professionals in ACH Operations handle tasks such as initiating, monitoring, and reconciling ACH files, ensuring compliance with banking regulations, and resolving payment exceptions or errors. Their work is essential for supporting payroll deposits, bill payments, and other direct deposit services. ACH Operations staff must be detail-oriented and knowledgeable about NACHA rules—the governing body for ACH transactions.
