The growth trajectory of Extensible Markup Language (XML) in the supply chain is driving processing efficiencies, with the notable exception of the payments enterprise, where U.S. businesses now re-associate 13 billion remittances each month through costly and inconsistent processes. The expanding usage of XML in core banking infrastructure means that a standard approach to XML in the ACH is an opportunity to promote greater exchange of electronic payment remittances for all sizes of businesses. This presentation provides NACHA’s roadmap for using XML in the ACH and discusses stakeholder recommendations for leveraging the ACH Network so business can improve their payables and receivables processes.
