Common use of Notification of Change (NOC Clause in Contracts

Notification of Change (NOC. An Originator must respond to Notifications of Change by making corrections within six banking days of receipt of the NOC information or prior to initiating another entry to the Receiver’s account, whichever is later. (Note: Special requirements apply to NOCs received in response to prenotification entries and to Single Entries. These are discussed in more detail below.) NOC received in response to a prenotification entry: An Originator must make all changes contained within an NOC related to a prenotification entry; however, the Originator’s timing requirements for action can differ, depending on when the NOC is made available to the ODFI. For a timely NOC (that is, an NOC made available to the Originator’s ODFI by the ACH Operator by the opening of business on the second banking day following the prenote’s settlement date), the Originator must make the requested changes before transmitting a “live” entry to the Receiver’s account. For an untimely NOC (that is, an NOC made available to the ODFI by the ACH Operator after the opening of business on the second banking day following the prenote’s settlement date), the Originator must make the requested changes within six banking days of receiving the NOC information from its ODFI or prior to transmitting the next entry, whichever is later NOC Received in response to a Single Entry: By definition, a Single Entry is a credit or debit entry based on a Receiver’s authorization for a one-time transfer of funds to or from the Receiver’s account.

The NACHA Operating Rules, therefore, allow an Originator discretion in determining whether to make the changes requested in any NOC related to an Entry identifiable as a Single Entry. Originator action on NOCs related to entries bearing any of the following SEC Codes is optional, at the Originator’s discretion: ARC, BOC, POP, RCK, and XCK Entries, as well as TEL and WEB entries bearing a Single Entry indicator (“S” or “blank” for TEL and “S” for WEB).
