FTC Delays "Red Flags" Rules
Till December 31, 2010
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC),
under pressure from Congress, delayed enforcement of the
"Red Flags" Rules yet again, this time till December 31, 2010.
The Rules were originally set to go into effect next week, on June 1, 2010,
but citing pending legislative changes, the Commission once again decided
to delay enforcement.
The "Red Flags" Rules were established under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) and require "creditors" and "financial institutions" to develop written rules designed to help identify, detect and respond to patterns, practices or specific activities—known as "red flags"—that could indicate identity theft. However, potential changes are being considered in Congress that will aim to address lingering questions about which entities are covered by the Rules.
NACM has repeatedly covered the
FTC's "Red Flags" Rules in both
eNews and Business
Credit magazine. The
association has also sought to
assist business creditors with
compliance by hosting
teleconferences led by FTC staff
and legal experts, as well as by
offering a template for a "Red
Flags" program in Business
Credit and on its online
resource library.

ACM, NCT Merge
to Create United Tranz*Actions
In January
American Check Management (ACM) merged with its
long-time competitor, National Check Trust, Inc.
(NCT), forming a new financial services company
known as: United Tranz*Actions, LLC (UTA).
This will provide
NACM members with an expanded product line, as
well as a strengthened infrastructure to support
continued growth and expansion of products.
“This is a
powerhouse solution. We are truly a one-stop,
fully loaded billing and payment solution,” said
Dean Middleton, president of United Tranz*Actions.
“Our competitive advantage is that we are able
to distribute your statement and invoicing as
your customers want it; make those same
documents available online; and, accept payment
– all with the click of a mouse.”
NCT has
historically specialized in marketing its Check
Guarantee services to both the automotive
industry and the building and materials
industry. They have been very successful in both
industry segments and their Check Guarantee
product has proven to be an industry leader.
Now, as UTA, we can offer NACM members the best
of both Check Guarantee programs.
In addition to its
leading Check Guarantee service, ACM has been
making great strides in the development of its
electronic services portfolio. The current
offering includes:
• Credit Card
Processing;
• Remote Check Deposit-with no NSF’s;
• Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment;
• Online Bill Pay;
• EFT/ACH-Check by Phone; and,
• E-mmediatesm-Check
by Phone with no NSF’s.
NACM members can
purchase these services as a complete benefits
package, or opt for ala carte services.
Together, this merger can only mean positive
things for NACM members.
For the time
being, current customers will see no changes in
existing services. “There’s no rush to make
change,” he said. “We’ll roll out a logo when we
decide on one, but after that, the only changes
will be for the benefit of our customers.”
Equifax reports increased 4% on
January 1, 2010.
