CCD Entries (Cash Concentration or Disbursement Entry)
0Can be either a credit or debit application where funds are either distributed or consolidated between corporate entities.
Authorization/Notification Requirements

The business Receiver must authorize all ACH credits and debits to its account. The Receiver of CCD entries to non-consumer accounts must also enter into an agreement with the Originator under which the Receiver has agreed to be bound to the NACHA Operating Rules. The nature of the agreement for corporate transactions can vary depending upon the complexity of the application and the relationship between the Originator and the Receiver.
Originators of corporate debits to Receivers other than their own subsidiaries need to be aware of the sensitivity of this application. Many corporate Receivers are reluctant to allow debit activity to their accounts; therefore, it is imperative that the agreement that supports this type of activity is complete and accurate. Originators may be required to provide some proof that debit activity was, in fact, authorized if a transaction is questioned by the Receiver.
Upon receipt of request for evidence of authorization, Originators must provide either (1) an accurate record evidencing the Receiver’s authorization, or (2) the contact information for the Originator that, at a minimum, includes (i) the Originator’s name, and (ii) the Originator’s phone number or email address for inquiries regarding authorization of entries. This record of authorization or contact information must be provided with ten (10) banking days upon request.
