ACH Direct Deposit User Guide | 1

HISTORY OF THE AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE The Automated Clearing House (ACH) began in the late 1960’s when a group of California bankers formed the Special Committee on Paperless Entries (SCOPE). This committee was formed in direct response to the rapidly growing volume of paper checks being processed through the national check clearing system. The committee was chartered to explore the technical, operational and legal framework necessary for an automated payment exchange system. SCOPE laid the groundwork for the first Automated Clearing House association which began in 1972. This led to the formation of similar groups in other parts of the country. In California, as in most other areas, agreements were made between the emerging local ACH associations and the Federal Reserve Banks serving those areas, to provide the facilities, equipment, and staff to operate the local ACH. In 1974, the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) was formed to coordinate the activities of the local ACH associations and to establish a national system for exchanging entries among the different ACH regions. Through the joint efforts of NACHA and the Federal Reserve System, the local ACHs were linked electronically on a nationwide basis by 1978. Today there are ACH associations serving over 20,000 financial institutions across the United States. These financial institutions provide ACH-based services to 300,000 corporations/organizations and millions of their clients. KeyBank and its affiliates originate approximately 245,000,000 ACH items annually.

UNDERSTANDING DIRECT DEPOSIT A. How Does Direct Deposit Work?

At KeyBank, ACH processing is done through a state of the art software package, known as PEP+. This software helps us ensure that your transactions are delivered to the Automated Clearing House for distribution on time and that all files are accurate. Here’s how the process works: 1. Your employees who participate in the program sign authorization forms, which allow you to

deposit their earnings directly into their accounts at the financial institution of their choice.

2. Based on the authorization forms, your company prepares a transmission in the standard NACHA format. A record is created for each participant that includes the net deposit, bank account number and financial institution Routing and Transit number. If an employee changes banks or account numbers, the employee must notify you so that the appropriate records can be changed to ensure their direct deposit is sent to the correct account.

3. While prenotification is optional, the first transactions you create may be prenotes for all

employees who have signed up for direct deposit. A prenote is a zero dollar entry that must be sent through the ACH system at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the first actual payroll entry. The prenote is used to let the employee’s bank, savings & loan or credit union know that an actual credit to the employee’s account is forthcoming. The receiving financial institution verifies the employee’s account number and related information. If any information included in the direct deposit entry is incorrect, the receiving financial institution has ten (10) calendar days to notify KeyBank of the error. This is known as a Notification of Change. KeyBank delivers various hard copy reports, which notify your company of the necessary changes. Whenever you add a new employee to the direct deposit program, it is recommended that a prenote entry be generated.

4. You continue to furnish the statement of earnings to your employee on payday.

5. The transmission is normally delivered or sent to KeyBank by 10:00 A.M. two business days

prior to the effective pay date. This time may be extended to 3:00 P.M., but in the event of a problem with the file, there may not be sufficient time to remake it for processing that day. (Transmission times may vary.) Our preferred method of receiving files is via transmission.

6. KeyBank will process the file, balance the entries, and retain those deposits which belong to

KeyBank accounts.

7. The file is then forwarded to the Automated Clearing House facility at the Federal Reserve Bank. The Automated Clearing House balances and validates the remaining transactions. The items are then sorted and distributed to the designated financial institution.

8. The funds are normally available to your participating employees on the morning of payday.

Deposits are reflected in the employee’s next bank statement.

KeyBank stands ready to provide operational, technical, educational, and marketing assistance to ensure your Direct Deposit Program is a success.


B. Company Benefits of Direct Deposit of Payroll

• Advanced knowledge of cash flow. Electronic funds transfers are predictable and clear in less time than checks, which can improve the company’s control of its cash flow.

• Direct Deposit can be offered as an employee benefit and may strengthen employee relations.

KeyBank offers a comprehensive Group Banking Program, which provides individual benefits to those employees who bank at KeyBank and receive direct deposit. Most of the benefits are provided at no cost to your company. We would also encourage you to explore Group Banking plans with the other major financial institutions in your marketplace. A summary of KeyBank’s Group Banking benefits has been enclosed.

• Improved employee productivity - reduces employee time spent cashing checks on payday. • Improved company image - as a modern, innovative company. • Cost savings. Based on nationwide surveys, each paycheck that is converted to an electronic

deposit saves $.10 - $.23 on paycheck issuance and reconcilement costs. • Administrative efficiencies:

− Reduced item to print and write checks (process payroll). − Eliminated or reduced reconcilement costs. − No lost or stolen checks, or resultant stop payments and reissues. − No confusing or special handling of checks for absent employees. − Lower per item costs for printing and handling payroll information notices.


C. Company Questions and Answers

Q. Not all my employees bank with the same financial institution. Can they receive direct deposit of their pay?

Yes, the originating financial institution, KeyBank, is your connection with the ACH system, which

automatically distributes your employees’ pay to any ACH member bank, savings and loan or credit union designated by your employees. Your employees are free to bank where it is most convenient for them.

Q. I have employees all over the country. How do I know this system will work the same

way everywhere? The ACH payment mechanism is a nationwide electronic payment system where all participating

financial institutions follow the NACHA operating rules and regulations.

Q. What has been the employee reaction to this program?

Employees, clients, organizations and corporations report strong favorable reactions.

Q. How will my employees get their money?

Employees can obtain their money by cashing a personal check, using an automated teller machine,

or drawing from their deposit accounts. The cash they need will be there waiting for them when they need it. They won’t have to pick up their paycheck, stand in line, and deposit it themselves. They will still receive a pay stub which will verify deposit of their funds.

Q. What if some of our company’s employees want to send part of their pay to a

checking account and the other part of their savings account? This is a “split deposit.” The ACH system can handle split deposits even if the accounts are at

different financial institutions.

Q. Do all my employees have to agree to use direct deposit?

No. But the more who use it, the greater the savings to you. That’s really a matter to be worked

out between you and your employees. Many companies strongly encourage new employees to receive direct deposit by treating a check as an exception. Each state has different rules regarding whether direct deposit can be mandatory.

Q. What if some of my employees don’t have checking accounts?

They will need to open a checking or savings account in order to receive their direct deposit

transaction. It is to your advantage to encourage them to open one. The more your employees participate in the program, the greater savings to you.


Q. What kind of employee participation can I expect?

The participation depends on the type of services offered, the geographical area involved and how

much you promote it, by word of mouth, pay envelope stuffer, etc. We can assist you in developing your promotional strategy.

Q. How will ACH deposit be indicated on our employees’ bank statements?

The NACHA rules require that, at a minimum, the date and the amount of the transaction, as well as

the source and purpose must be made available to them.

Q. Will errors be difficult to trace and correct? The opposite is actually the case. By automating the payments system, errors are minimized.

KeyBank’s Cash Management and ACH staff are available to help in any way necessary.

Q. Won’t I lose float?

You will have to determine the amount of float that might be lost based on your own situation.

Banking studies indicate that float has decreased substantially as a result of efforts to improve the efficiency of the nation’s check collection system. Many companies have discovered that the loss of float is offset by savings on check processing charges, in-house reconcilement costs, check safekeeping, stop payment charges, and check re-issue charges.

Q. Will it be expensive to convert our present program to supply the necessary input?

By involving your data processing people, a precise cost and timetable can be established. Many

payroll software packages already have a direct deposit option built in. Once an ACH system is in place, the savings start adding up because the ACH system is less expensive to operate. And the more the system is utilized, the greater the savings.

Q. If I use direct deposit, I’ll still have to run two systems.

It’s really one system. You’ll find that the automated portion is derived from your present method

and will be less expensive. The more you convert to the automated mechanism, the more you’ll decrease your present costs.

Q. I don’t have an automated payroll system now.

That’s okay. We’ll show you how to set up the automation needed.

Q. It sounds complicated.

It really isn’t. The only complicated part is the operational portion within the ACH system and we do

that for you. Once the system is in place, your company’s job is actually simplified.


Q. I can’t meet your input schedules. What are my options?

There are two options that are recommended. You could either advance your processing cycle by

one day or adjust your payday. Many companies have found that these adjustments, when necessary, are readily accepted - and the benefits received more that compensate for the adjustment.

Q. Does this make payroll information accessible to people who don’t need to have it?

Exactly the opposite. Direct deposit is much more secure. Under normal procedures, a check

passes through as many as 10-12 hand in the clearing process... including grocery store clerks, tellers, etc. With direct deposit, this is handled on magnetic tape, transmission or PC based software and no one sees the individual transactions.


EMPLOYEE QUESTION AND ANSWERS

Q. I consider how much money I make a confidential matter. Will this new bank service infringe on this confidentiality?

No. The payroll information, which goes from the company to its bank is highly secure. Your pay

slip will contain the same information now contained on your check. Direct Deposit will also eliminate tellers, grocery store clerks, etc. from seeing your paycheck.

Q. What if I have started ACH Direct Deposit and want to drop it?

If you have signed an authorization for direct deposit of payroll, you will need to notify your employer

to cancel the authorization.

Q. Do I have to use a certain financial institution to participate in the system?

No. The majority of financial institutions participate. Almost no one will need to change banking

relationships to have his of her pay deposited automatically on payday.

Q. Must I have a checking or savings account to use the payroll deposit plan? Yes.

Q. Can I have a set amount of money each month automatically deposited into a savings account?

Yes. You can specify with your employer’s payroll department the dollar amount you wish to be

deposited into a savings account each pay period.

Q. How will I know how much money is being deposited into my checking account? You will receive an earnings statement from your employer giving complete information including the

net amount you are paid. This is the amount that will be deposited into your checking account.

Q. Is my financial institution required to send a deposit confirmation to me at the time a direct deposit of payroll entry is posted?

No. Since the employer is still required to provide you on payday with an accounting record of

earnings and deductions, that statement will be your notification. You will also see your direct deposit entry on your regular monthly bank statement.

Q. What if an error is made?

We don’t expect any, but if one should occur it can be easily corrected. There are trained personnel

at your company and at your financial institution who fully understand the direct deposit and automated payment systems. These individuals stand ready to investigate and resolve any problems.


Q. I want my check in my hand first.

With direct deposit you can have all your earnings information (pay stub) in your hand, and your

money in the bank.

Q. How do I know how much I made? Your company will continue to issue you a “pay stub” detailing gross earnings, net earnings, and

other payroll related information.

Q. I have to go to the bank anyway; can I just deposit my check then? Why go on the busiest days at the bank? You can avoid the lines and hassles by going to the bank

when it is convenient for you, or by using automated teller machines.

Q. What if my institution is not involved with direct deposit? Most financial institutions are involved with direct deposit. However, if yours is not, contact your

employer to make the necessary arrangements.

Q. I do not want my spouse to know how much I make. The employee should check with his or her employer to see if the pay can be deposited to two

separate accounts so that the spouse may only see some portion of the pay.

Q. Does the Federal Government use the ACH network? The Federal Government is the largest user of the ACH network, initiating over 500 million

transactions annually.

B. ACH File Specifications 1.1 Sequence of Records in ACH Files

Each file has a File Header record and ends with a File Control record. Within files are any number of batches. Batches begin with a Batch Header record and end with a Batch Control record. Within batches are Entry Detail records. The number of addenda records that follow each entry is dependent on the Standard Entry Class Code. The file sequence is shown in the diagram entitled “Record Layout Sequence” on page 21.

1.2 File Structure

File Header Record The File Header Record identifies the immediate origin (Sending Point or ACH Operator) and destination (Receiving Point or ACH Operator) of the entries contained within the file. In addition, this record includes date, time, and file identification fields which, can be used to identify the file uniquely. Company/Batch Header Record The Company/Batch Header Record identifies the Originator and describes the prearranged paperless debit or credit. For example, “GAS BILL” or “REG SALARY” indicates the reason for the transaction. The Company/Batch Header Record contains the Routing and Transit Number of the Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) for settlement, routing of returns, and other control purposes. In addition, the Company/Batch Header Record can indicate the intended effective entry date of all transactions within the batch.

Entry Detail Record Entry Detail Records contain individual DFI account number, identification number, name, and the debit or credit amount as indicated by the Transaction Code. Transaction Codes for Entry Detail Records have been defined to accommodate prenotification records, zero dollar entries, and return entries. Prenotifications are identical to the basic entry format but contain appropriate Transaction Codes and Zeros in the Amount field. Prenotifications can be batched with other dollar entries or batched separately. Return entries are distinguished by special Transaction Codes and must be batched separately from other dollar entries. See page 24 for detailed record layout.


Company/Batch Control Record The Company/Batch Control Record contains the counts, hash totals, and total dollar controls for the preceding detail entries within the indicated batch. All Entry Detail Records are hashed. Both Entry Detail Records and Addenda Records are included in the entry/addenda counts; Batch Header and Batch Control Records are not included. See page 25 for detailed record layout. File Control Record The File Control Record contains dollar, entry, and hash total accumulations from the Company/Batch Control Records in the file. This record also contains counts of the number of blocks and the number of batches within the file (or batched data transmitted to a single destination). See page 26 for detailed record layout.

C. Sample ACH Reports I. Adjustment Activity Completed Today:

This section details the on-line changes that have been made to your file on your behalf. For example, detail deletes, file deletes, and batch effective date changes are all included in this section if they were entered today. This section details activity, which occurred today regardless of settlement date.


II. Notifications of Change:

This section details any notifications of change on items originated by your company. They are treated as if they settle and will appear on this section on the day they “settle”. While this information does not affect settlement, it is information you should receive on a regular basis to update your records.


III. Items Returned:

This section details any returns of originated items. Only those returns which have settled today are included.


IV. Adjustment Activity Affecting Settlement Today:

This section details on-line changes, which affect settlement today. This section differs from Adjustment Activity Completed Today in that this activity could have taken place on an earlier date, but did not settle until today. This section details any adjustment activity which settles today, regardless of when the adjustment occurred.


V. Settlement Reconciliation for Today:

This section is a summary. It shows the net settlement to the account today by indicating the original amount of settlement to the file and the total adjustment activity. Return Item settlement is listed separately, as are reversals.

2) KeyBank File Transfer Protocol Guidelines ENCRYPTION Encryption is required for all FTP’s with KeyBank. Key provides 2 encryption options:

1. FTP with PGP encryption (signing optional) 2. FTP/TLS

FIREWALL Key requires trading partners to have a static public source IP address, or limited range of addresses. The source address must be added to our firewall policy prior to your connecting. Key should be notified in advance of any changes to your IP address(es). Firewall updates may take up to 10 business days to complete FTP/TLS TLS (Transport Layer Security) is generally compatible with FTP/SSL. Key’s FTP server supports explicit (AUTH SSL) TLS using the control port 2021. Key’s firewall does not allow FTP/TLS connections on port 21, either inbound or outbound. Client certificates are not required. PASSIVE MODE Key requires you to connect to our FTP server using passive mode. In passive mode, Key’s FTP server listens for data connections on ports in the range 2030-2040. If necessary, configure your firewall to allow outgoing connections to Key on these ports.

ACTIVE MODE Generally, Key does not support active mode. If your ftp client binds to a LIMITED range of data ports in active mode, Key may be able to accommodate those ports. Note that most command line ftp clients (Solaris, Microsoft) use random high ports for data connections and cannot open data connections with Key in active mode. SFTP Key does not currently support S/FTP or Secure Copy using SSH. TEST SERVER Key’s test FTP server uses port 2021 for control connections for all ftp traffic.
