NACHA File Format Origination

IMPORTANT NOTE: The formats outlined in this document were established by the National Automated Clearing House
Association (NACHA) and are subject to change. Please consult the most current edition of the ACH Rules published by
NACHA to ensure you are using the most up to date NACHA file format.
General Information
Field: A field is a group of characters or numbers that represent one piece of information. For example, Field 6 in the File
Header Record contains the time your ACH file was created.
Position: The position shows where in the record the field is located. Field 6 begins at position 30 and ends at position
33. That means that there are 29 characters preceding Field 6, and Field 6 occupies 4 spaces - 30, 31, 32, and 33.
Size: The size indicates the number of characters (called bits) that the field occupies. For example, Field 6 is made up of 4
bits.
Picture: This is the type of bit the ACH system is expecting to see. A 9 indicates a numeric value and an X indicates an
alphabetic value. If you put a letter in a PIC 9 position, the system will reject the field. If you see a number in parentheses
after the X or 9, that indicates the number of characters in that field. For example 9(10) means that field contains 10
numeric characters.
Contents: This is a sample of the information or the actual information that should be included in the field. If the
information is surrounded by single quote 1, it is the actual information BBVA Compass requires in that field.
Data Name: This is the name of the Field. If you are building your NACHA file from scratch, you may want to use the
names listed.
Comments: This is helpful information that we have included to further explain the information required in each field.
Record: Record refers to the collection of fields used to represent one set of information. For example, your name,
address, and phone number are individual fields of information within the record called You. For NACHA files, each
record occupies one line.
Please Note: The formats outlined in this document can be used to format PPD, CCD and IAT files. If you are originating
other types of ACH transactions, please refer to the most current edition of the ACH Rules. For Consumer ACH files
(Direct Deposit, Consumer Debits) please refer to the PPD formats contained in this document. For Corporate ACH files
(Corporate Payments, Corporate Debits, Cash Concentration) please refer to the CCD formats in this document. For
International ACH Transactions, please refer to the IAT formats in this document.

National Automated Clearing House rules require that countries specified in IAT transactions be identified using the
two character International Organization for Standards (ISO) country codes. Failure to use these codes will result in the
rejection of IAT transactions. The ISO country codes are listed in the chart below for your reference. Please be sure that
these codes are used instead of explicit country names such as United Kingdom, or other non-conforming country
designations (UK etc.).
The BBVA Compass service presently reaches Canada, Mexico, Panama, and the European Union
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Additional country codes
are provided for proper formatting of IATs funded from offshore accounts for domestic US ACH transactions.
