About this Event

Event Description

Every ACH origination file and Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) transaction exposes your institution to operational, fraud, credit, and reputational risk. Yet many financial institutions continue to rely on inconsistent exposure limits, unclear approval authority, and manual exception processes that increase risk while frustrating commercial customers. A well-designed exposure management framework balances customer service with sound risk management and regulatory expectations. 

In this practical one-hour webinar, we'll explore how financial institutions can establish meaningful ACH and RDC exposure limits, distinguish between transactional underwriting and traditional credit underwriting, and develop consistent processes for reviewing and approving over-limit activity. We'll also discuss how risk ratings, periodic reviews, and ongoing monitoring work together to create a comprehensive treasury risk management program that is scalable, efficient, and examiner-friendly. 

Whether you're launching a new treasury management program or refining existing policies, you'll leave with practical guidance, real-world examples, and actionable best practices for strengthening internal controls, documenting exceptions, reducing fraud exposure, and improving collaboration among Treasury Management, Credit, Operations, Compliance, and Risk Management teams. 

During this webinar, you'll learn how to:

  • Develop risk-based ACH and RDC exposure limits that align with customer risk profiles and institutional risk tolerance.

  • Evaluate and document over-limit requests using practical transactional underwriting principles and consistent approval workflows.

  • Differentiate between credit underwriting and transactional underwriting—and understand when each applies.

  • Build effective risk rating methodologies, periodic review schedules, and ongoing monitoring processes that satisfy regulatory expectations.

  • Identify common red flags, improve exception management, and create governance processes that strengthen treasury risk management across the organization.
