Section 1: Overview Citizens Bank 4 February 2015
Chapter 1: Introduction The ACHieve Access module allows corporate originators and receivers of ACH transactions to access various types of data stored on the Bank ACH system via the Internet. How to Use This Manual At a high level, there are two sections of this manual. Section 1 provides a high level overview of the Product and provides tips for logging into ACHieve Access and navigation of the system and includes general rules that will be helpful in using ACHieve Access. Section 2 details the Corporate Customer section of ACHieve Access and details how the Corporate Administrator sets up Corporate Groups and Users and utilizes the various transactions available to the Corporate User. The following table was designed to help the user locate the information he or she needs to utilize ACHieve Access: Chapter or Section Information Discussed SECTION 1: OVERVIEW Chapter 1: Introduction Overview of Administrative Functions Overview of ACHieve Access Transactions Chapter 2: The ACHieve Access 4.3 Interface Overview and General Rules The ACHieve Access Login Page The ACHieve Access Multifactor Authentication The Home Page Layout The ACHieve Access User Profile Flexigrid Grid Layout and Usage SECTION 3: CORPORATE USERS Chapter 3 Corporate Administration High Level Overview Add, Change and Delete Corporate Groups Add, Change and Delete Corporate Users Corporate Profile Approvals Corporate Admin Dual Verification Chapter 4 Corporate Transactions Working with the ACHieve Access Transactions: Control Totals Electronic Payment Authorizations Warehouse Citizens Bank 5 February 2015
Chapter or Section Information Discussed Activity Schedules (inactive) Chapter 5: Corporate Audit Reports Audit Reporting Editable User Preferences Generating ACHieve Access Audit Reports Overview of ACHieve Access Administrative Functions Bank Administration The Corporate Administrator will need to determine what users can access the system and which of the features of ACHieve Access these users can utilize. Subsequent sections of this document define the requirements for each function. Control Totals For Corporate Customers, Control Totals are assigned at the Corporate Group level. Citizens Bank will assign transactions to the Corporate Customer, but then a Corporate Admin can assign these transactions at the Group level to limit access to users assigned to particular groups. Electronic Payment Authorization (EPA) To preemptively reduce your exposure to fraud, Citizens Bank administers and manages an ACH Debit Block service that automatically returns all ACH Debits, preventing them from posting to your account Citizens Bank s ACH Debit Filter service enables you to create, maintain and update Electronic Payment Authorizations (EPA) to filter and identify ACH Debit transactions that are approved to post to your account. Users can create, change, and delete Electronic Payment Authorizations for all accounts set up with ACH Debit Block Additionally, this service provides dual approval to mitigate fraud and reduce the costs and inefficiencies associated with inadvertently approving or rejecting ACH Debit payments Warehouse Since the warehouse functionality is Inquiry Only, the only security option to be defined for each user is whether they can utilize the Warehouse option for items in the warehouse. Access to warehouse items is assigned at the Corporate Group level. A Corporate Admin can assign this access at the Group level to limit access to users assigned to particular groups. Citizens Bank 6 February 2015
Activity Schedules (Inactive) The Bank Admin must define users can access Activity Schedules. For Corporate Customers, access to Activity Schedules is assigned at the Corporate Group level. The Bank Admin will have to assign Activity Schedules to the Corporate Customer, but then a Corporate Admin can assign this access at the Group level to limit access to users assigned to particular groups. System Access and Security The enhanced application security and entitlements offered via ACHieve Access enables organizations to control access to transaction details with customized User Groups. In addition to controlling access to transaction information, User Group entitlements can also be used to determine which users can perform various functions, which users receive email notifications and which users can access and inquire on information. Getting Started: Each User must be entitled to access this application. Once entitled, users can access using their appropriate log in credentials. Each ACHieve Access user will have a unique ID and password that is used for login purposes and to track all activity that a user performs. Security information is maintained on each user s profile record that identifies what functions on ACHieve Access they can access and what data they can access on the ACH system. Audit Reporting (Available in the ACHieve Access GUI) The ACHieve Access Admin user has the ability to generate audit reports from inside the ACHieve Access GUI. After login into the system, Corporate Administrators can access the Reports link in the ACHieve Access accordion menu on the left side of the home page. When user clicks on the Reports link it will show Audit Report page where the user can set preferences and generate the Audit reports. Web audit reporting for Corporate Customers (Available in PDF or HTML format) The Corporate Admin will be able to generate reports for his corporate account only. Web audit reporting online editable user preferences Users can set their preferences to generate the reports. The Corporate Admin can set and save preferences for the Audit Report. This page contains Report Type (HTML, PDF), Report Order (Ascending, Descending), Activity Type (All, Add/Change/Delete) and Sort Fields. Notification Processes The ACHieve Access module can perform numerous types of notifications for the end user (based on the application) and for bank users (or administrators). Each application (or function, such as EPA) has a notification table where specific events are logged. For example, any time a transaction is rejected for No Authorization on File a record is written to the EPA Notification table. Notifications are controlled at the Administration level and can be assigned to each user as needed. Citizens Bank 7 February 2015
ACHieve Access Transactions Control Totals ACHieve Access 4.3 User Guide for Corporate Customers Overview Control Total Verification: Citizens Bank s ACH Control Total Verification feature provides an alternative method of entering File Control Totals for ACH Origination. Using this feature, users can submit approved transaction totals which will be used to verify the ACH file totals on the file received by the bank. If the file values received by Citizens Bank match the approved transaction totals, the file will be submitted for straight-through processing. If the file values received by Citizens Bank do not match the approved transaction totals, you will be notified of the exception and Citizens Bank will work with you to resolve the discrepancy. ACH Control Total Verification enables users to submit the approved transaction totals (Total Debit Dollar Amount and Total Credit Dollar Amount for ACH Origination files) directly into the Citizens Bank Treasury Online Portal This feature enables users to save time and dynamically manage ACH Origination files at the user's convenience. Electronic Payment Authorization (EPA) Overview Citizens Bank ACH Debit Filter service enables you to create, maintain and update Electronic Payment Authorizations (EPAs) to filter and identify ACH Debit transactions that are approved to post to your account. Users can create, change, and delete Electronic Payment Authorizations for all accounts set up with ACH Debit Block. Electronic Payment Authorizations identify ACH Debit transactions by Originator (Company Identification); however, the advanced capability of ACH Debit Filters enables you to further customize the filters using additional authorization criteria including: Single Payment Authorization Recurring Payment Authorization Fixed Dollar Amount Maximum Dollar Amount Authorization Expiration Date ACH Positive Pay: Citizens Bank s ACH Positive Pay service provides you with an additional opportunity to review ACH Debit transactions that have been rejected as a result of an ACH Debit Block and/or an ACH Debit Filter. Using this solution, you can review the transaction, decide if it should be paid or returned to the originating bank, and even create a new ACH Debit Filter to authorize future transactions. This new enhancement offers several key benefits to ensure your organization avoids the burden and costs associated with inadvertently rejecting ACH Debit payments. How it Works: Citizens Bank 8 February 2015
When Citizens Bank receives an ACH debit transaction for an account with an established ACH Debit Block, a query is performed against the ACH Debit Filters (Electronic Payment Authorizations) on file for that account. If the transaction meets the authorization criteria (as defined by the ACH Debit Filters on file), the transaction is posted to the account. If the transaction does not match the authorization criteria, Citizens Bank s ACH Positive Pay service will send email notifications to designated users. Upon receipt of the notification, the user will have the opportunity to review the ACH debit transaction and decide if the transaction should be paid or if it should be returned to the originating bank. If the transaction is approved to proceed with payment, the user will have the opportunity to create a new ACH Debit Filer (Electronic Payment Authorization) to authorize future occurrences of these types of transactions. Benefits to Corporate Receiver: Allows the corporate to exercise more control over what entries are allowed to post. Provides real-time status information regarding what transactions have been rejected for no authorization record. The online decisioning feature will allow the receiver to authorize the transaction in the timeframe required before the entry is returned. Will provide online access to what authorization records are active, expired, and used. Provides real-time status information regarding the acceptance of the authorization record during the add process. This will ensure the receiver that the authorization record was added properly and is active. Reject Decisioning ACHieve Access receivers of ACH entries that have rejected for No Authorization On File or Non-qualified Authorization are notified via e-mail. Each detail transaction that has rejected for an account during the collection window will create a single notification. The following information about each detail reject is provided in the Reject Notification : Company ID Company Name Entry Description Effective Date Account Number Transit Routing Number Transaction code (Debit or credit) Individual Name Individual ID Amount Citizens Bank 9 February 2015
PEP+ PAR Number ACHieve Access 4.3 User Guide for Corporate Customers Reject Reason Either no authorization on file, or authorization present but item did not qualify. A message indicating when the entry is recollected and returned Once the receiver has reviewed this reject information, they can go in to ACHieve Access and perform decisioning on the reject. They will have three options: Accept (allows entry to post to their account). Refuse (item is returned). Pending (decision not known at this time). Decisioning can only be performed until the item has been recollected. When the user selects the Accept option, they are indicating the item should be allowed to post. When this reject item is recollected, the bank ACH system will re-route this transaction to the appropriate posting endpoint and will not look for, or use, any existing authorization records. During the acceptance process, the user is given the option to view (and potentially change) an existing authorization record (if one was present) to determine why the item rejected, and to make any appropriate modifications to allow future transactions to post. If the detail item rejected because no authorization record was located, the user is given the option to add an authorization record so that future transactions will not reject. It is important to note that any changes or additions to authorization records made during the acceptance session will only impact future transactions. If the user determines the entry should be returned, they will select the REFUSE option and the item is recollected and returned. If the user is unsure what action should be taken on the reject, they will select the PENDING status. This will allow them to browse only PENDING rejects if desired. At the appropriate recollection time, any detail rejects in a PENDING status will again be edited against the Electronic Authorization file. Citizens Bank 10 February 2015
EPA Dual Verification The use of Dual authorization/verification processing is an option for ACHieve Access EPA processing. Dual Verification is defined as a process by which both parties are in full agreement with the disposition of an item before it can be approved and released from the dual verification queue. Dual Verification can be required for EPA updates (adds, changes, and deletions), and for reject item decisioning actions (acceptance or refusal of rejects). Dual verification parameters are defined at the corporate group and individual corporate user levels. The way these parameters work together is as follows: Corporate Customer Dual Verification High Level Overview: Optional transaction amount limits can be applied to Corporate groups and/or individual Corporate users that will allow them to bypass dual approval processes when under a specified dollar amount. Both parties must be in complete agreement to approve a transaction. A user can not approve his/her own transactions. Corporate Group Level Dual Verification There are two levels for dual verification at the Corporate Group level. Please note that only a Level 2 Associate can approve an item. Level 1 Associate (Enter EPA transactions) Level 2 Associate (Enter EPA transactions and approve EPA the transactions of other Level 1 and Level 2 users) Additionally, dollar amount levels can be utilized as well as Associate levels. Maximum Dollar Amount Qualifying entry for less than or equal to the amount in this field will require NO VERIFICATION for a user of the listed Authorization Type. This applies to EPA Add only. Note: There are no entry threshold limits for the approval of EPA Adds. Level 1 and Level 2 users can enter any dollar amount when performing an EPA Add. The Maximum Dollar Amount threshold lists the specific amount a user can enter without any required verification, but a Level 2 Associate can approve an authorization of any dollar amount. Citizens Bank 11 February 2015
Example: A total of 3 users have been set up for authorization: User 1 is a LEVEL 1 user with a threshold of $1,000.00 User 2 is a LEVEL 2 user with a threshold of $1,000.00 User 3 is a LEVEL 2 user with a threshold of $5,000.00 If User 1 adds an authorization for $2,000.00, it is over his threshold and needs to be approved by one of the LEVEL 2 users (User 2 or User 3). If User 2 adds an authorization for $500.00, it is under his threshold and doesn t need approval. If User 3 adds an authorization for $10,000.00, it is over his threshold and User 2 would need to approve. Even though User 2 can only add new items up to $1,000 without requiring approval, he can approve items added by another user regardless of the dollar amount. The processes for performing EPA updates and Reject Decisioning are the same when Dual Verification is turned on, but several of the resulting screens are different and let the user know that their action is pending verification. How ACHieve Access Determines A User s Authorization Level Because there potentially could be situations where a ACHieve Access Corporate User could belong to multiple Corporate Groups with different Dual Verification levels, it is important to understand what level takes priority. The following examples are provided for clarity: Sample 1 User 1 is set to Level 1 Associate at the Corporate User level. User 1 is also in a Corporate group that is Level 2. (The User level settings override Group level settings so this User would be Level 1 Associate) Sample 2 User 2 is set to Level 2 Associate at the User Level. User 2 is also in a Corporate Group that is Level 1 (The User level settings override group level settings so this User would be Level 2 Associate) Sample 3 User 3 is set at Default to Group at the User level. He belongs to multiple Corporate Level Groups. One group is Level 1 Associate. Another group is Level 2 Associate with a dollar amount of $500. Another group is set at Level 2 Associate with a Dollar amount of $1000. (User 3 would default to the most powerful option: Level 2 with a Dollar amount of $1000 meaning that this user could decision all pending EPA transactions and could enter EPA transactions at up to $1000.00 without requiring Dual Verification of his entry.) Important: Please keep in mind that when utilizing EPA Dual Verification that there must be at least one Level 2 Associate available to decision pending EPA transactions. Citizens Bank 12 February 2015
Corporate User Level Corporate User Dual Authorization set up at the user level is only intended to override group options and the default setting at the user level is Group Default. There are three possible options for Corporate User Level Dual Verification: Default to Group use the Dual Verification setting designated on the Corporate Group to which this user belongs. Level 1 Associate (Enter EPA transactions) Level 2 Associate (Enter EPA transactions and approve EPA the transactions of other Level 1 and Level 2 users) Additionally, dollar amount levels can be utilized as well as Associate levels. Maximum Dollar Amount Qualifying entry for less than or equal to the amount in this field will require NO VERIFICATION for a user of the listed Authorization Type. This applies to EPA Add only. Warehouse Overview Warehouse Inquiry: Citizens Bank's ACH Warehouse Inquiry feature enables users to query Citizens Bank's ACH database for both originated and received ACH transactions. This feature provides access to additional transaction information including remittance details. Originators of ACH files can access any data they originated that resides on the Warehouse (primary and extended). Each file or batch processed by the originator is assigned an application name (such as PAYROLL) which is communicated to the originator. Access to warehouse transactions for Corporate Customers will be assigned by the Bank Admin. Once the Bank Admin has added Points/Collection Applications and Accounts these Point/CA/Account Numbers can be assigned to a Corporate Group. Bank Users will be able to browse all Point/CA/Account Numbers added by the Bank Admin using the Transaction Setup / Warehouse setup for Bank transactions. This is how ACHieve Access will determine what data any particular user can access. The browse sequence allows the user to access all files they have originated and then view information regarding each batch in the file. From the Batch Browse screen, the user is able to view information regarding each detail entry in the batch. From the Detail Browse screen, the user can view all details within the batch and then select one for inquiry. The Originator Browse functionality cannot be used to access batch and detail records that reside on the Extended Warehouse. The detail records can only be accessed using the Originator by Account Number warehouse option. Note: If the account number is known and specific information about a detail transaction is needed, the user should use the By Account Number option to access the detail most efficiently. Receivers of ACH entries may wish to inquire upon their items in the Warehouse (based on account number) via the ACHieve Access module. The profile records for the external users indicate what account numbers the users can access. In the ACHieve Access environment, warehouse inquiry options are divided into the following categories depending on whether the user is a receiver or an originator of ACH entries: Citizens Bank 13 February 2015
Originator Receiver ACHieve Access 4.3 User Guide for Corporate Customers Using browse technique or Using account number Using account number The ability for the corporate ACH originators (or receivers) to perform their own warehouse inquiry requests will benefit the corporate originator (or receiver) by eliminating the need to contact the financial institution to determine the status of an entry or file being originated or received. Additionally, information is available 24x7 for true self-servicibility. Activity Schedules (inactive) Overview Each year, hundreds of originating companies are asked to provide activity schedules (or file presentment schedules). Citizens Bank will setup and monitor activity schedules as a value-added service to their originating companies. The activity schedules provided by the originators may also be used to reduce the risk of processing an unexpected (or fraudulent) file. The ACHieve Access module is used as the vehicle for the setup and maintenance of activity schedules by the corporate originators. In addition to the setup and maintenance functions, ACHieve Access will also provide notification options for the originator when exceptions occur with their file presentment (for example, an unexpected file is received). Value Statement The ability for the corporate originator to setup and maintain their file presentment schedules via the ACHieve Access module will provide value to the corporate originator. Benefits to Corporate Originator: The originating company is more apt to provide schedule information via this vehicle. By providing this information to the bank, they ensure the bank knows when to expect their files and therefore may reduce the risk of the bank processing erroneous files. In the current processing environments, there are so many exceptions (because the information must be provided so far in advance) that many of these exceptions are not researched. For this reason, some banks are not even requiring their originators to provide presentment schedule information. File Monitoring Overview Originators of ACH files often call their originating bank after they have transmitted an ACH input file to determine the status of that file. ACHieve Access will allow the originator to receive electronic notification of their file status during various phases of processing. This electronic notification process will ensure the originators are notified immediately of any problems and reduce the number of inquiries received in the ACH Operations department. Files received for processing at banks will go through two main processing steps: Arrival and Collection. The arrival process reads the input file, identifies which Point the file belongs to, writes the input data to the required dataset name, and marks the file as arrived. The arrived status on the file ensures the file is collected in the next ACH window. During the collection process, the file is edited and written to the Warehouse. The standard edits performed for a collected file include: Batch and File Trailer Validation, Collection Application Recognition (if applicable), Duplicate File Editing (on both total and file header information), Risk Citizens Bank 14 February 2015
Edits, and Control Total Validation (if applicable). Based on the edit parameters defined on the ACH database the file (or batch) may be Processed, Suspended, or Rejected if any of edits fail. The File Monitoring feature of ACHieve Access allows the originator of the file to receive electronic notification of processing status information during the Arrival and/or Collection Processes. Notifications are sent via e-mail. The ACHieve Access File Monitoring feature is optional. If an originator chooses to use this facility, they have the option to receive a notification during only ASAP/Arrival processing, only Collection processing, or both. The File Monitoring notification process will work as follows: 1 The file is transmitted to the bank for processing. 2 The file is processed through the ACH ASAP module. 3 A notification is sent to the originator that indicates the file was arrived. 4 The file is collected into the ACH window. 5 A notification is sent to the originator that indicates the file (or application) was collected and provides the status of the file (or application) collection. VALUE STATEMENT The File Monitoring feature of ACHieve Access will provide value to the originating company. Benefits to Corporate Originator: Provides a timely notification when file is received at the bank. This will eliminate the need for the originator to contact the bank to verify the file was received. Citizens Bank 15 February 2015
Chapter 2: The ACHieve Access Interface Overview and General Rules Field Names, Mandatory Y N Indicator, Data Type, Maximum Length and Field Labels are controlled at the Bank Level. When the user does not put an appropriate response in a required field, an error or informational message will display next to the field or fields letting the user know to reenter the correct response or responses. The rules for ACHieve Access User Login, Passwords and Multifactor Authentication are maintained at the Bank Level. Special Characters In ACHieve Access the use of special characters is hard coded in the system and usage varies by field. As a general rule, fields that allow a data type of CHAR will allow most special characters to be utilized. Please note that two special characters that cannot be used in ACHieve Access at any time are the less than and greater than symbols < and >. The Cancel Button The Cancel Button will return the user to the previous screen. Please note that all information entered on the screen or form will be lost when the Cancel Button is selected. Browser Back, Forward and Refresh Buttons It is recommended that the ACHieve Access user not utilize the browser Back, Forward and Refresh buttons at any time. ACHieve Access allows some the use of the Internet Explorer Browser Back, and Forward buttons. But in most instances a message will display warning the user that this action will cause him to be logged out of ACHieve Access. The Refresh button will always cause the warning message to be displayed. However, it should be noted that the Cancel button in ACHieve Access can always be used to cancel out of the current action and return the user to the previous page. Citizens Bank 16 January 2015
The ACHieve Access Login Page The initial ACHieve Access User Login screen is shown below. Corporate users will need to enter the Organization Name in the Company ID field and their User ID in order to proceed. Once the user has entered the Company ID and User ID, click on the Next button. Citizens Bank 17 January 2015
Corporate users will need to enter their Temporary Password, New Password and Confirm New Password, click on the Next button. Field Definitions Organization Name The name of the Organization for the Corporate User. This field is required for Corporate Users and is called the Company ID when signing into the application. User ID This required field contains the ID of the Exchange User. By default this field is case sensitive. Temporary Password The password is sent directly to the user from the bank and by default this field is case sensitive. New Password The user creates a new password following the provided credentials on the login screen. Confirm New Password The user will re-enter their new password in this field to confirm change. Citizens Bank 18 January 2015
The ACHieve Access Multifactor Authentication Page Overview The ACHieve Access Multi-Factor Authentication allows the flexibility for a number of challenge questions to be set up to be chosen by each ACHieve Access user to associate personalized questions convenient for his or her login. Multifactor Setup and Usage The first time a user logs into ACHieve Access they will need to set up Security Questions and Answers that will be used in subsequent logins. Once the user enters the answers, press the Next button. Field Definitions Security Question (Response) This required field contains the answer the user set up for use during the login procedure. Citizens Bank 19 January 2015
The Home Page Layout The Home Page for the Corporate Customer will show any system alerts in the middle portion of the page. These alerts can be created and set at the Bank level. The menu that appears on the left side of the ACHieve Access will vary from user to user, depending on the groups to which that user has been assigned. The Corporate Administration Home Page The Corporate User Home Page The ACHieve Access Accordion Menu The main functions available to the user are available in a menu on the left side of screen which is available to the user at all times when working in the ACHieve Access GUI. This menu is an accordion menu, meaning that if the user selects one of the main menu items then the links under that item will drop down and display. Please note that if the user does not have access to a particular ACHieve Access feature or response, the menu for that feature will not display in the ACHieve Access menu on the home screen. Another useful feature of the ACHieve Access menu is that the user can always tell where they are in the ACHieve Access system by looking at this menu because the current section link will be a different color. Citizens Bank 20 January 2015
The Navigation Bar ACHieve Access 4.3 User Guide for Corporate Customers On the upper right side of all ACHieve Access pages is a navigation bar that allows the user to navigate to the home page from any part of the system by selecting the Home link. Additionally, the user can edit his or her profile by selecting the Profile link or logging out of the system by selecting the Logout link. Please note that all information entered on a page or form will be lost when the one of these buttons is selected and the user navigates away from the current page. Depending on the way the Bank s system administrator has set up the ACHieve Access system, the user s name may on the left side of the navigation bar. Citizens Bank 21 January 2015
The ACHieve Access User Profile The ACHieve Access user will be required to set up his user profile the first time he logs into the ACHieve Access system. After initial setup, he or she can edit this data at any time by accessing the Profile link in the navigation bar on the top right side of every ACHieve Access page. Change Password, Forgot Password or Locked User ID In the event the user has trouble logging in the user can click on the Trouble Logging In hyperlink. Citizens Bank 22 January 2015
Change Multifactor Login Questions Users can edit their security questions and answers at any time by selecting the Trouble Logging In link from the navigation bar. Citizens Bank 23 January 2015
Flexigrid Grid Layout and Usage Data is displayed in table/grid layouts in the ACHieve Access interface utilizing flexigrid technology. The flexigrid component utilized for ACHieve Access table displays is intuitive and includes features to: Search for records matching your supplied criteria (by first clicking the search icon). The ability to sort in either ascending or descending order by a selected column. The ability to hide and/or show columns to make optimum use of available space. The ability to navigate between pages using the navigation icons or jump straight to a particular page. Other features include: Resizable columns (height and width) Sortable column headers Toolbar Full Search capability The System Alerts Navigation Bar All tables in ACHieve Access will utilize the following navigation bar: Button / Label Description The magnifying glass button opens the search option when selected. The user can search for alerts by entering a portion of the Alert Message name. The dropdown allows the user to search by Alert Message, Alert Type, Alert Frequency or Alert Status. The number of items to view per page drop down label can be modified to view 10, 15, 20, 30 or 50 System Alerts per page. The back button allows the user to go back one page. For example if the user wanted to go from Page 4 to Page 3 he could click this button. The go to beginning button allows the user to go from whatever page he is on to the first page of System Alerts. This indicator shows what page the user is on at any particular time. Citizens Bank 24 January 2015
Button / Label Description The forward button allows the user to go forward one page. For example if the user wanted to go from Page 3 to Page 4 he could click this button. The go to last page button allows the user to go from whatever page he is on to the last page of System Alerts. The refresh button updates The status for all the System Alerts This label indicates the number of System Alerts that are being displayed on the page as the total number of System Alerts in ACHieve Access. Changing the Grid Display The following screen shows an example of a flexigrid used on the Bank User page. This is the default view. Every time the user goes to this page the columns will display in this predefined order. However, the user can modify this view while working with this data. Just keep in mind that any changes made to the table grid will be lost when the user navigates away from this page. Citizens Bank 25 January 2015
By clicking the down arrow that appears when moving the mouse over the column headers, the user can display a list of the possible columns. When this down arrow is selected, the list of columns is displayed. The user can then add or remove columns for this view by selecting or deselecting the checkbox next to the column name. The blank column header represents the radio button selector. If this column is removed then the grid will not allow selection of specific rows and will, in effect, make the grid read only. Besides adding and removing columns, the user can also change the sort of the grid by selecting the appropriate column label and clicking the left mouse button. In the sample below, you can see the up arrow indicator that shows that this row is sorted top down alphabetically. Citizens Bank 26 January 2015
By clicking in the Last Name column with the left mouse button the user can change the table grid sort order to be alphabetically bottom down starting with Z. In the example below you can see the arrow points down and the sort has changed from A, B, C to Z, Y, X. Another change the user can make is to move columns. Columns can be moved one column at a time by holding down the left mouse button to select the column heading and dragging it in the direction he would like to move the column. In the picture below, the Status column is being moved to the left of the First Name column. The blue arrow pointing to the left indicates the direction and location of the move. Once the move is made, the user could then choose to move this column another column and put it to the left of the Last Name column. In this way, the user could make multiple changes to the way the grid is sorted. Another change that can be made to a table grid is to resize a column or row. Simply select the space between two columns or rows with the mouse pointer and when the mouse icon changes to a T shape as in the picture below, hold down the left mouse button and drag in the direction you would like to resize. Citizens Bank 27 January 2015
In this example the user moved the mouse to the right and increased the size of the User ID column. Note: Modifications to the grid layout will change back to default when the user navigates away from the current page. At this time changes to the system grids will not be saved in ACHieve Access. Citizens Bank 28 January 2015

Citizens Bank 30 January 2015
High Level Overview ACHieve Access Corporate User Login Once a bank admin has built the corporate customer records and created an ID for the Corporate Admin users, the corporate customer is notified with the information needed to access ACHieve Access and complete the required set up of corporate groups and corporate users. Please note that by default, all user ID s and passwords are case sensitive. The default user ID and password should be entered using the proper case. It is always necessary for the corporate users to enter their Organization Name in the Company ID field and User ID on the ACHieve Access User Login page. These fields are required for corporate users. The ACHieve Access Multi-Factor Authentication product allows the flexibility for a number of challenge questions to be set up to be chosen by each ACHieve Access user to associate personalized questions convenient for their login. Once the Corporate Administrator is created, he or she can then proceed to the following steps: Set up the Corporate Groups that will be needed by Corporate Customer. Typically this would include at least one Administrative Group and one Non Administrative Group. Using the Corporate Group Add or Modify actions, assign ACH transactions to the Corporate Groups. Set up the Corporate Users and assign them to the appropriate groups. At a minimum, the Bank Admin will be required to set up the Corporation, one Admin Group and two Corporate Administrators assigned to the group. Additionally, the Bank Administrators will need to assign ACH transactions to the Corporation so these transactions can then be assigned at a Corporate Group level for Corporate Users, Citizens Bank 31 January 2015
Add, Change or Delete Corporate Groups Overview for Adding and Defining Corporate Groups Typically, two Corporate groups should be defined; a Corporate Administration group and a Corporate Non-Administration group. One is for Corporate users that can access the administrative functions and one for Corporate users that cannot access administrative functions but can perform actual transactions.

Chapter 4: Corporate Transactions Control Totals Control Total Add (Corporate User) The Control Total Add option is selected when it is necessary for an originator to enter Control Totals for a file he or she is submitting to his bank for processing. The Control Total profile records identify which Points and/or Collection Applications for which the user can add (and maintain) Control Totals. Each Point or Collection Application is assigned an Application Name. The application name is communicated to the user so they know which one to select based on the file (or batches) they are submitting for processing. When adding Control Totals, the user must enter the Application Name and the Debit and Credit Amounts. Three optional values that can be entered and used during the Control Total matching process include Entry/Addenda Count (or just entry count), File ID Modifier, and Hash Total. The Control Total profile records will identify what values are required for each application name. The user will not be allowed to enter Control Total information that is not required (Hash Total, for example). Important: In order for a Control Total to be available for use in ACHieve Access by a Corporate User, it must be set up by a Bank Admin via the Home Page under Corporate Setup/Control Totals. Additionally, the Corporate User must be assigned to a Corporate Group that contains the appropriate transactions. This Corporate Group can be set up by either a Bank Admin or a Corporate Admin.

EPA (Electronic Payment Authorization) Add / Delete / Modify The Electronic Payment Authorization module (EPA) was designed to provide receivers of electronic ACH entries a means to specifically authorize what transactions can post to their account. If an ACH entry is received for posting to an EPA account and the required Electronic Authorization record is not present at the time of collection, the detail entry is rejected and potentially returned. In most of the current EPA processing environments, the ACH Operations staff is responsible for accepting the authorization details from the receiver over the telephone and manually adding the Electronic Authorization record to the Bank ACH system. There are a number of risk issues inherent to this process: How can the bank ACH operations personnel accepting the phone call authenticate that the person providing the transaction/authorization detail is authorized to do so? If the authorization information is misinterpreted, or the authorization record is added incorrectly to the Bank ACH system and an invalid debit transaction is allowed to post to the account, the receiving bank may become liable for crediting those funds back to the receiver. There is normally a very narrow window of opportunity to add an authorization record for an entry that has rejected for no authorization on file prior to its recollection and return. This results in entries being returned that the receiver may actually want to accept. In addition to expanding the functionality of this module, the usage of the ACHieve Access module at the receiving bank will eliminate the manual efforts and risk associated with the bank personnel adding the authorization records online to the ACH Electronic Authorization Master file. The following components were developed as part of the ACHieve Access EPA functionality: The ability for the receiver (or account holder) to add their own Electronic Authorization records via the Internet. The ability for the receiver (or account holder) to query their authorization records using a number of search criteria. Numerous notification options including notification of any entries collected that were rejected for no authorization on file, Reject was refused via Exchange (to be retired), and a variety of other notifications (please refer to the Notification Process section of this document for a complete list of EPA notification options). The ability to perform online decisioning of detail rejects. Citizens Bank 57 January 2015
Dual Verification In ACHieve Access, Dual authorization/verification processing is an option for EPA. Dual Verification is defined as a process by which both parties are in full agreement with the disposition of an item before it can be approved and released from the dual verification queue. Dual verification parameters are defined at the organization, corporate group, and individual user levels. At the corporate organizational level, an option is selected by the bank to turn dual verification on or off for the corporate client. Once turned on, the client is allowed to modify existing corporate users dual verification options to assign a user dual verification level, maximum dollar level and notification option for EPA dual verification activities. Optional transaction amount limits can be applied to individual users that will allow them to bypass dual approval processes. Both parties must be in complete agreement to approve a transaction A user will not be able to approve their own transactions Dual Verification Levels Note: EPA Dual Verification is set up at the Corporate level (NONE or REQUIRED). If REQUIRED, the users are defined at the Corporate Group level. Corporate User Dual Authorization set-ups at the user level are only intended to override group options and the default setting at the user level is Group Default. Here is an example of how the Group and User levels work: SAMPLE 1 User 1 is Level 1 at the User level. He is in a Corporate group that is Level 2. (User level settings override group level settings so this User would be Level 1) SAMPLE 2 User 2 is Level 2 at the User Level. She is in a Corporate Group that is Level 1 (User level settings override group level settings so this User would be Level 2) SAMPLE 3 User 3 is Default to Group at the user level. He belongs to multiple Corporate Level Groups. One group is Level 1. Another is Level 2 with a dollar amount of $500. Another is a Level 2 with a Dollar amount of $1000. (User 3 would default to the most powerful option: Level 2 with a Dollar amount of $1000) Maximum Dollar Amount Maximum Dollar Amount Qualifying entry for less than or equal to the amount in this field will require NO VERIFICATION for a user of the listed Authorization Type. This applies to EPA Add only. Note: There are no entry threshold limits for the approval of EPA Adds. Level 1 and Level 2 users can enter any dollar amount when performing an EPA Add. The Maximum Dollar Amount threshold lists the specific amount a user can enter without any required verification, but a Level 2 user can approve an authorization of any dollar amount. Example: A total of 3 users have been set up for authorization: User 1 is a LEVEL 1 user with a threshold of $1,000.00 User 2 is a LEVEL 2 user with a threshold of $1,000.00 User 3 is a LEVEL 2 user with a threshold of $5,000.00 Citizens Bank 58 January 2015
If User 1 adds an authorization for $2,000.00, it is over his threshold and needs to be approved by one of the LEVEL 2 users (User 2 or User 3). If User 2 adds an authorization for $500.00, it is under his threshold and doesn t need approval. If User 3 adds an authorization for $10,000.00, it is over his threshold and User 2 would need to approve. Even though User 2 can only add new items up to $1,000 without requiring approval, he can approve items added by another user regardless of the dollar amount. EPA Add The Electronic Payment Authorization Add option is selected from the Main menu when the receiver wishes to add an electronic authorization record to authorize future transactions to their account.

EPA Reject Decisioning ACHieve Access receivers of ACH entries that have rejected for No Authorization On File or Non-qualified Authorization can be set up in ACHieve Access to be notified via e-mail. Each detail transaction that has rejected for an account during the collection window will create a single notification. The following information about each detail reject is provided in the Reject Notification : Company ID Company Name Entry Description Effective Date Account Number Transit Routing Number Transaction code (Debit or credit) Individual Name Individual ID Amount PEP+ PAR Number Reject Reason Either no authorization on file, or authorization present but item did not qualify. A message indicating when the entry is recollected and returned Once the receiver has reviewed this reject information, they can go in to ACHieve Access and perform decisioning on the reject. They will have three options: Accept (allows entry to post to their account). Refuse (item is returned). Pending (decision not known at this time). Decisioning can only be performed until the item has been recollected. When the user selects the Accept option, they are indicating the item should be allowed to post to the customer s account and the bank s posting system. When this reject item is recollected, the Bank ACH system will re-route this transaction to the appropriate posting endpoint and will not look for, or use, any existing authorization records. During the acceptance process, the user is given the option to view (and potentially change) an existing authorization record (if one was present) to determine why the item rejected, and to make any appropriate modifications to allow future transactions to post. If the detail item rejected because no authorization record was located, the user is given the option to add an authorization record so that future transactions will not reject. It is important to note that any changes or additions to authorization records made during the acceptance session will only impact future transactions. If the user determines the entry should be returned, they will select the REFUSE option and the item is recollected and returned. If the user is unsure what action should be taken on the reject, they will select the PENDING status. This will allow them to browse only PENDING rejects if desired. At the appropriate recollection time, any detail rejects in a PENDING status will again be edited against the Electronic Authorization file. Citizens Bank 65 January 2015

Warehouse Financial Institutions that process ACH payments (originate, receive, or both) receive a number of inquiries on a daily basis regarding the status of files, batches, and most frequently, detail transactions. The ACHieve Access module enables both originators and receivers of ACH entries to access their data on the ACH database via an Internet interface. Financial Institutions may also allow their internal users (such as Call Center and Branch personnel) to use ACHieve Access as a user-friendly inquiry tool into the warehouse. Allowing warehouse access via ACHieve Access to a myriad of end users will decrease the number of inquiries handled by the ACH Operations department. Originators of ACH files can access any data they originated that resides on the warehouse (primary and extended). Each file or batch processed by the originator is assigned an application name (such as PAYROLL) which is communicated to the originator. Access to warehouse transactions for Corporate Customers will be assigned by the Bank Admin. Once the Bank Admin has added Points/Collection Applications and Accounts these Point/CA/Account Numbers can be assigned to a Corporate Group. Bank Users will be able to browse all Point/CA/Account Numbers added by the Bank Admin using the Transaction Setup / Warehouse setup for Bank transactions. This is how ACHieve Access will determine what data any particular user can access. The browse sequence allows the user to access all files they have originated and then view information regarding each batch in the file. From the Batch Browse screen, the user is able to view information regarding each detail entry in the batch. From the Detail Browse screen, the user can view all details within the batch and then select one for inquiry. The Originator Browse functionality cannot be used to access batch and detail records that reside on the Extended Warehouse. The detail records can only be accessed using the Originator by Account Number warehouse option. Note: If the account number is known and specific information about a detail transaction is needed, the user should use the By Account Number option to access the detail most efficiently. Receivers of ACH entries may wish to inquire upon their items in the warehouse (based on account number) via the ACHieve Access module. Any internal bank users that are performing research on a specific transaction could also use the Account Search option. The profile records for the external users indicate what account numbers the users can access In the ACHieve Access environment, warehouse inquiry options are divided into the following categories depending on whether the ACHieve Access user is a receiver or an originator of ACH entries: Originator Using browse technique or Using account number Receiver Using account number Note: Warehouse inquiry functionality will not include the ability for the customers to view return items in the warehouse. Note: Before a Corporate User can browse warehouse transactions the Bank Admin should have added Points/Collection Applications and Accounts via the Corporate Setup / Transaction Add link from the Bank Administration menu. From the Corporate ACHieve Access Main Menu, the user will select the Warehouse option. Two options are available: Originator Browse Account Search Citizens Bank 70 January 2015
