NOC and Return ACH Codes
Each Notification of Change (NOC) or Return includes one of the reason codes listed in the tables below.
When a transaction is returned, the notification includes a Return Code that lets you know the reason for the return. For example, R01 means the transaction was returned due to Insufficient Funds. Returned transactions do not post to the receiving account, so they may need to be resubmitted. Depending on the Return reason, you may need to confirm the payment details with the receiver or receiving bank and make any necessary corrections to the Counterparty details before resubmitting.
NOCs don't require resubmitting the payment since the original ACH transaction successfully posts to the receiver account. The notification includes a Change Code that lets you know which information needs to be corrected for any future payments. For example, C01 means the receiver account number is incorrect. You would need to confirm the details with the receiver or receiving bank and make any necessary corrections to the Counterparty details before sending any future payments.
