Transactions trigger an ACH reject when they haven't been processed by the customer's bank or payment was not collected from or credited to your customer’s account. All return codes begin with the letter ‘R’ (i.e. ACH R01, ACH R02, ACH R03, etc.) and indicate that the transaction was not accepted. Depending on the reason for the reject, some transactions may be corrected and resubmitted. An ACH reject is similar to an overdraft in a personal checking account. It can take several days to receive an ACH reject notice.
