When you process a payment to a vendor or refund a payment to a customer who is outside the United States, you must enter a payment transaction to generate the National Automated Clearing House Association – International ACH Transactions (NACHA-IAT) file. The key elements that cause an ACH transaction to be treated as an IAT transaction are the following:

  • A payment instruction is issued to create an ACH transaction.

  • The payment transaction is funded by, transmitted to, or received from a financial agency located outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

  • A part of the transaction is processed through the United States ACH network.
