Affirmative Technologies is one of the nation’s leading technology providers in ACH processing and risk management software.

James and Nanci highlight the importance of ACH risk monitoring in the payment processing industry, accounting for a significant portion of noncash payments. They discuss the need for a predictive model to assess the risk of a particular originator, which can help payment processors and Originating Depository Financial Institutions (ODFIs) decide whether to onboard an originator, or how to monitor them once onboarded.
They also discuss Affirmative Technologies’ ACH risk scoring tool, which uses historical data to predict the likelihood of an originator submitting an unauthorized transaction. This tool, similar to a FICO score, can help financial institutions manage their risk more effectively.
