As an ACH originator, your credit union can originate all types of payments for your members - including cross-border items. ACH services provide an efficient, low-cost, batched payment service that enables an electronic exchange of debit and credit transactions among business and consumer accounts.

1. Contact your Southwest Corporate account executive to learn more about Directo a Mexico.
2. Update your FedACH Participation Agreement.
3. Schedule one-on-one training on Southwest Corporate's origination software.
4. Establish an ACH Origination Policy, develop Originator Agreements, and establish operational and compliance procedures.
5. Start marketing your new cross-border ACH Origination Services to your consumer and business members. (Free marketing materials are provided.)
