Nationwide ACH Funding Delay – Federal Reserve (FedACH) Service Disruption

Nationwide ACH Funding Delay – Federal Reserve (FedACH) Service Disruption

Description
We want to make our premier partners aware of a nationwide ACH funding delay impacting settlement funding today. This issue is not related to Tekcard Payments or Fiserv systems. The delay is due to a Federal Reserve (FedACH) service disruption, which is affecting end-of-day ACH distribution files and scheduled settlements across the country.


What’s Happening

  • The Federal Reserve has reported delays in delivering ACH distribution files.

  • The 8:30 AM ET settlement window has been impacted.

  • Some institutions may also experience delays in receiving acknowledgements for submitted ACH files.

  • This is a nationwide issue impacting multiple banks and processors.


Impact

  • Merchant funding may be delayed until the Federal Reserve completes processing.

  • ACH rejects and related reporting may also be temporarily delayed.

  • This may affect same-day visibility of settlement activity.


  • If merchants call, advise there is a nationwide Federal Reserve ACH delay impacting multiple institutions.

  • Do not attribute the delay to Tekcard Payments internal processing.

  • Once the Federal Reserve releases the backlog, funding should process normally.

  • Escalate only if funding does not release after confirmation that the Fed issue is resolved.
