LexAlign is a Preferred Partner for Compliance, Fraud Monitoring, and Risk & Fraud Prevention.
Your Customers are Responsible for Compliance
Business Originators and Third-Party Senders must maintain risk-based processes to detect unauthorized or deceptive (“False Pretenses”) payments — and review them annually.
Doing Nothing Will be Unacceptable
Nacha’s Risk Management Advisory Group (RMAG) also emphasizes that simply doing nothing is not acceptable—risk monitoring must be meaningful, documented, and operational.
Enforcement begins March 20, 2026
On March 20, 2026, the Rule is enforceable as to non-consumer Originators and Third‑Party Senders (TPS) that originated more than 6 million Entries in 2023. On June 19, 2026, enforceability extends to all remaining Originators and TPS.

How Lexalign Operationalizes Nacha’s New Fraud Monitoring Requirements
Lexalign operationalizes Nacha’s new fraud monitoring requirements into a concrete, customer-facing program that produces actionable data for both banks and their customers. Here’s how it works:
THE CHALLENGE:
Nacha Will Require Risk-Based Fraud Prevention at the Customer Level
Most customers lack bank-level sophistication — 79% reported fraud attacks in 2024, yet there’s been a 30% drop in the number maintaining minimal viable security. Nacha now requires risk-based fraud prevention at the customer level.
THE SOLUTION: Customer Fraud Monitoring Readiness
Lexalign empowers customers to identify and remediate the gaps in their compliance.
Your customers receive guided self-assessments uncover gaps

With Lexalign, your customers receive an interactive, remediation checklist to track and attest to fixes.

THE CHALLENGE:
Attestations and agreements don’t discharge ODFI responsibility under the Rules, according to Nacha.
Compliance requires records. Without defensible documentation, compliance “didn’t happen.” With Lexalign, ODFI customers receive:
THE SOLUTION: Records that Evidence ODFI Responsibility
With Lexalign, ODFI customers receive the following support in line with the Nacha Operating Rules and the Rules of Evidence:
Actionable Reports
Dashboards
Scoring
Analysis
THE CHALLENGE:
Fraud exploits gaps banks can’t see: deficient controls at the site of origination — your customer’s operations.
Lexalign Audit Reports protect banks from fraud-related liability more effectively than agreements under pertinent statutes.
THE SOLUTION: Visibility Into Customer Operations
Customers complete self-assessments against the Rules and instantly obtain actionable Audit Reports
ODFIs get visibility into 80%+ of customers’ operations

On average, Lexalign users enjoy 80% assessment completion from customers

Your customers are given the tools they need to remediate their gaps.

Identifying risks isn’t enough — customers need practical steps to remediate.
With Lexalign, the banks’ customers receive tailored a complete ACH Compliance Program:
THE SOLUTION: Actionable Gap Remediation
Gap Analyses & Action Plans
Policies & Procedures
Remediation Checklists
THE CHALLENGE:
ODFIs are still responsible for all originated Entries. Without proactive oversight, fines, fraud losses, and reputational risk flow upstream.
Lexalign operationalizes compliance, empowering customers to prevent fraud while enabling banks to grow faster and safer with Lexalign.
THE SOLUTION: Bank-Level Confidence, Customer-Level Action
Regulatory Alignment
Risk-Based Oversight
