IMPORTANT SECURITY REMINDER TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS Please be sure you carefully review the permissions assigned to your ACH user(s) to ensure you segregate create/modify ACH payment permissions from ACH payment approval permissions and create/modify ACH profile permissions from create/modify ACH payment permissions. This will help increase your level of security against Internet payments fraud.

ACH OVERVIEW - SAME DAY ACH PAYMENTS

The Web InfoPLU$ ACH module allows you to create ACH payments and access historical ACH information. The options

available in the horizontal menu within the ACH module include:

Menu Option Description Data Retention Period

Payment Status Summary View transaction activity for the current day or change the dates to see historical information

95 days

Create Payment Initiate an ACH payment N/A

Reversal Reverse a single ACH transaction or an entire ACH batch

5 days after the effective date

Passthrough Import an ACH file for processing 20 days

Approval Approve ACH payments and profiles that are pending secondary authorization

(Note: Requires that secondary authorization for payments and/or profiles be enabled)

N/A

Reports Create a custom report based upon ACH activity

20 days

Profile/Template Maintenance Create and save the payment instructions/templates that will be used to create ACH payments

N/A

The ACH module is available daily, 24 hours per day, but ACH payments must meet certain deadlines to be processed by

the effective date.

• Credit files should be submitted at least 2 business days prior to the effective date

• Debit files should be submitted no later than 1 business day prior to the effective date

Note: ACH files can never be submitted the same day as the effective date, unless they are Same Day ACH payments.

Also, the Receiving bank may have earlier deadlines to meet a one business day processing timeframe. Payments should

be submitted no later than 2 business days prior to the effective date to allow enough time for both M&T Bank and the

Receiving bank to process the transactions

Identified on the next page are the scheduled times that ACH payments are uploaded by Web InfoPLU$ for further

processing and submission into the ACH network. Once a payment is in a submitted status, changes cannot be made.

However, Web InfoPLU$ has a standard Reversal option that allows users to create a reversal of an ACH payment or file

sent in error. This can be done on the effective date or up to 5 days after the original payment.

SAME DAY ACH PAYMENTS

Same Day ACH is a new capability offered by M&T Bank. You must opt-in for this service. It is a universal same-day

capability for Originators to move payments faster. This new capability is offered for both Credit and Debit Origination.

There are limitations on the types of transactions that can be sent. International ACH Transactions (IATs) and payments

above $25,000 are not eligible for same-day processing. In order to meet the industry cut-off time for same-day processing,

file must be submitted and fully approved on Web InfoPLU$ by 12:30pm ET.

Once you have opted-in for Same Day ACH, sending a file is easy. You can use any existing profiles/templates for any

same-day file, without the need to create specific Same Day ACH profiles/templates. Under Payment Format, simply select

"Same Day ACH" to submit a Same Day ACH file.

is checked under the Processing Information section (please see above)
