SEC Codes
CWS support for the Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction class includes the following Standard Entry Codes (SEC):
| SEC Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Back Office Conversion (BOC) | A single-entry debit initiated by a merchant/billing entity at the point of purchase or a manned bill payment location for a physical check (source document) from by the customer. The check is converted to an ACH debit entry during back-office processing. BOC conversions require the customer to be present. |
| Corporate Cash Disbursement (CCD) | A business-to-business transaction allowing a debit or credit from one organization to another organization. Authorization rules for consumer entries do not apply. |
| Prearranged Payment & Deposit (PPD) | Used to credit or debit a consumer account. The consumer must provide written authorization to the merchant/billing entity to automatically debit a savings and/or checking account for the specified dollar amount. The payment types may be one-time or recurring transactions. |
| Telephone-Initiated Entry (TEL) | Initiated based on a verbal authorization (by telephone) to issue an ACH entry by phone. The merchant/billing entity must make an audio recording of the oral authorization or provide the recipient with written confirmation of the authorization prior to the settlement date. |
| Web-Initiated Entry (WEB) | An electronic authorization via the Internet to initiate a transfer of funds from a consumer account. NACHA requires each merchant/billing entity originating WEB entries to employ commercially reasonable methods for authenticating the identity of the recipient. |
