- PKI in place with the ITS.gov 6.0 release
- Currently working on PKI rollout

## What’s Ahead for International Payments?

- NACHA rule changes – effective March 20, 2009
- New SEC (standard entry class code) approved under NACHA rules for international transactions
- IAT (International ACH Transaction) code to be used for international payments using a single code for consumer & corporate transactions
- New transaction format includes the Bank Secrecy Act’s “Travel Rule” information that contains additional recipient address, account, and bank information.

## Why the change?

- Implemented to support the OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) compliance and screening obligations
- OFAC administers the economic sanctions and embargo programs affecting target countries, target nationals, and other specifically identified companies and individuals on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list of “blocked parties”
- Will impact every financial institution in the US and any foreign organization sending payments into or receiving payments from the US if the payment touches the ACH network

## How does this Affect Agencies?

- Agencies that currently send international payments, *that go through the ACH network*, will need to adopt the new format
- Payments that go to domestic correspondent bank accounts, with an ultimate destination overseas, must use the IAT format and include the additional travel rule information
- International payments to correspondent bank accounts, that are currently co-mingled with domestic payments, would need to be identified, separated, and sent to ITS.gov
- Payments processed through ITS.gov will be mapped to the new IAT format
