How to Handle Notifications of Change (NOCs)
A notification of change (NOC) occurs when the bank sending funds notifies the bank receiving funds that some portion of the once-valid information has changed. This could result from a bank buying another bank, which would cause routing numbers to change. With NOCs, ACH transactions will run successfully, but your business will incur a fee.

Durbin’s (D-Ill.) introduction of Regulation II as a last-minute addition to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was well-intentioned and logical from a payments perspective. Interchange — the wholesale cost to run a credit or debit card transaction — is set by the card brands (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Amex). Interchange should be proportional to the risk of a given transaction, however, businesses were paying upwards of a 1% to 3% Interchange for swiped debit card transactions — one of the least risky transaction types — before the Durbin Amendment was passed. With a card-present debit transaction, the cardholder can be verified and sufficient funds confirmed before the transaction is processed. Credit isn’t even involved.
