HERNDON, Va. – NACHA has approved an E-Sign provision for its operating rules governing the ACH network. Under the new rule, e signatures that comply with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act will comply with NACHA's requirements for "similarly authenticating" a consumer ACH debit authorization. Currently, NACHA requires a consumer debit to be authorized the old-fashioned way, in writing. The rule goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2002.
