Monitor for recurring Notifications of Change (NOCs)
Available at no additional cost, the FedDetect Anomaly Notification for FedACH Services can help financial institutions quickly address potential fraud and improve operational efficiency. Notification of Change monitoring through the FedDetect service helps originating depository financial institutions (ODFIs) and their originators adhere to Nacha rules to avoid future violations.
One of the top issues that Nacha sees in Rules compliance is an originator’s non-response to a Notification of Change. This service offers an opportunity to improve compliance with NOCs and increase the overall quality and efficiency of the ACH Network.

Intended for ODFIs that receive the same NOC more than once outside of Nacha-designated timeframes, NOC monitoring notifies a financial institution that an originator has failed to make the requested updates. This information allows the ODFI to follow up with the originator to provide education or take other appropriate action. The recently added “Reports” tab now allows users to view and download NOC use case results for any processing date or date range within the past 90 calendar days.
Automatically deliver NOCs to your originators
The FedPayments Reporter for FedACH Services enables ODFIs to convert NOCs into reports and distribute them to their business customers. These NOC reports can be sent in a variety of file formats via encrypted email to contacts ODFIs enable in their FedLine Advantage® or FedLine Web® Solution.
Prior to using these reports, we were manually emailing our originators their Notifications of Change and ACH returns, which I’m sure you can imagine is very time-consuming. We were able to cut that completely out of our daily process by having them set up to be automatically sent from the service, which freed us up to work on more meaningful tasks. It really was a no-brainer. It was so easy to sign up and access the reports online.

Together, these monitoring and reporting tools can help identify potential NOC violations and allow ODFIs to more efficiently share NOC information with originators.
