SECONDARY APPROVAL – OPTIONAL FEATURE
AVAILABLE FOR ACH MONITOR FRAUD REVIEW AND
APPROVAL
M&T clients have the option to require all critical ACH Monitor Fraud Review and Approval decisions to require secondary
approval before those decisions are processed.
The Secondary Approval option allows your organization to require all authorization records, as well as Pay or Return
decisions to be reviewed and verified by a second individual before the action is processed by the bank. If a decision is
submitted and not approved by the decision deadline the payment will be automatically returned by the Bank.
STEP 1: NOTIFY M&T BANK
In order to begin utilizing the secondary approval feature within ACH Monitor Fraud Review and Approval, contact your
dedicated Treasury Management Consultant or the Commercial Service Team at 1-800-724-2240.
Once M&T Bank has enabled Secondary Approval functionality, all Groups and Users* will be held to Secondary Approval
restrictions. Therefore, any new or modified Authorization Record, as well as any Pay or Return decision will require approval
by a separate ACH Monitor user prior to being executed within the system.
* Regardless of your organization’s ACH Monitor set up, all users and capabilities assigned to your System
Administrator group will not be held to Secondary Verification restrictions.
Important Note: The ACH Monitor system will permit your System Administrator to set up Secondary Approval at the Group
and User level. However, M&T Bank recommends against establishing these different levels of Secondary Approval.
Establishing different Secondary Approval permissions at the Group or User level, may adversely impact a user’s ability to take
actions within the system, due to conflicting permissions. Instead, M&T recommends that you leave the Secondary Approval
permissions unchanged for your Users and Groups. Then, once M&T establishes Secondary Approval for your organization, all
new or modified Authorization Records, as well as all Pay or Return decisions could be made by a second user assigned to your
account(s).
STEP 2: ASSIGN EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION’S GROUPS
The ACH Monitor System Administrator may assign email notifications to your organization’s various groups to ensure users
receive notifications any time an item requires their attention.
• Emails will be sent to all users (except the user initiating the action) when a Pay or Return decision or new authorization
record requires secondary verification
ACH Monitor Fraud Review and Approval USER GUIDE
©2017 M&T Bank. Member FDIC. 01/17 —21—
• Once an initial decision is approved or denied, the user who made the initial decision will receive a confirmation of the
action taken
Refer to the appendix of this User Guide for samples of all Secondary Verification email notifications
ACH MONITOR HOME PAGE
The screen that appears after you log into ACH Monitor is the home page, which lists the feature(s) that are part of the
package to which you subscribe. Theses may include the following:
• The Control Total feature allows you to enter Control Totals that correspond to ACH files your organization has
submitted. You also have the capability to view and modify Control Totals that were submitted up to five (5) calendar
days prior, for which a matching ACH file was not received by M&T Bank.
• Fraud Review and Approval allows you to review and make pay or return decisions on debits presented for payment
against your account(s). You may also set up and maintain company Authorization Records that automatically pay debits
presented from companies that you have preauthorized.
• Payment and File History provides real-time information on ACH payments that you have originated or received.
Information is available at the file level, batch level and transaction level.
• Information at the file level is available for 15 calendar days. Payment level info is available for 60 days within the
Originated & Received Payments module.
• The Payment Schedule allows you to set up a schedule of expected ACH payment activity. If an ACH payment is not
submitted as scheduled, you will receive an email notification.
Beginning in Spring 2015, you will notice an upgraded look and feel to the ACH Monitor website. Click here for details and user guides

ADD AUTHORIZATION RECORD
This screen allows you to complete the information required to add an authorization record. An authorization record is the
record within ACH Monitor granting another company or other entity permission to debit your account. You can set up
authorization records for any entity that should be allowed to process payments against your account.
Any entity for which an authorization record does not exist will have any submitted debits presented against your account
rejected by ACH Monitor Fraud Review and Approval.
You will be notified of all rejected payments and will then be able to log into ACH Monitor to make Pay or Return decisions on
those rejected debits.
To begin, click Add. Select the appropriate Account Number for which the new authorization will apply.

After selecting the appropriate account number, the screen below will show additional fields to complete.
If any of the required fields are left blank, ACH Monitor will prompt you to complete the information before it is submitted.
In some cases, you may have a need to limit the total number of payments an authorized party is permitted to debit your
account. This is accomplished by completing the Number of Transactions
Authorized field which limits how many transactions should be accepted with the authorization, found underneath the
Transaction Type Code toward the middle of the page.
• For example, a company may structure a payment plan with a vendor to allow the vendor to debit its account for only six
installment payments. After the sixth payment, they should not be permitted to debit the account any longer.
Once the total number of payments entered into that field has been presented against the account, ACH Monitor will
automatically begin rejecting any payments from that entity. At that point, users will need to log into ACH Monitor and make
Pay or Return decisions on those rejected debits.
Note: If you do not have a need to limit the total number of payments, simply leave that field blank. It is not required to
complete the setup of the authorization record.

EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS FOR FRAUD REVIEW AND
APPROVAL
A major feature of the ACH Monitor service is the wide array of email notifications that are sent to users enrolled for various
services. Emails are triggered by different events and are sent automatically from the service. The Fraud Review and Approval
feature of ACH Monitor comes standard with the applicable email notifications included. This allows you to stay informed of
relevant payment activities without having to be actively logged in to ACH Monitor.
All emails are sent to the user(s) assigned to receive them. Not only can the user who initiated the action receive an email
notification, but the ACH Monitor System Administrator and any other users can also be set up to receive the same
notification.
Email notifications are encrypted using secure email encryption software. The first time you receive a secure email from M&T
you will need to register as a new recipient. You only need to register once to be able to continuously view secure email
messages from M&T.
Listed on the following pages are the emails offered with the Fraud Review and Approval service. You may choose to receive
all emails for each service, or select specific emails based on your preferences. If you wish to make any changes to your ACH
Monitor service, including electing to receive or suppress email notifications, please contact your dedicated Treasury
Management Consultant.
