True or False: An ACH Operator acting as a Gateway will accept Inbound IAT Entries that are ACH credits or debits.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on the jurisdiction
• D. False if not processed manually

Answer: (B)

The statement is false because an ACH Operator, when acting as a Gateway for International ACH Transactions (IAT), does not process inbound IAT entries that are ACH credits or debits. The ACH Network has specific guidelines regarding the types of entries that can be handled, and inbound IAT entries must meet certain criteria and be formatted correctly for acceptance. ACHS processing recognizes IAT entries designed for international transactions but does not treat them the same way as standard ACH credit and debit entries. Because of regulatory, compliance, and formatting differences, not all types of inbound transactions are accepted by an ACH Operator functioning as a Gateway. This clear delineation is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of international transaction flows within the ACH Network.
