While originating depository financial institutions would still retain the ability to set lower thresholds based on their risk appetite and their customers’ payment needs, ICBA said a more gradual pace will allow community banks to implement processes that address the risks associated with a higher transaction limit.
ICBA wrote that a more incremental approach would reduce risks to small financial institutions that receive large same-day ACH debits late in the day, which could unexpectedly jeopardize their liquidity.
