TRX
An SEC code is a three letter code that describes how a payment was authorized by the consumer or business receiving an ACH transaction. SEC stands for 'Standard Entry Class'. SEC codes are defined and maintained by NACHA, the governing body for the ACH network.
What is Standard Entry Class (SEC) Code TRX?
SEC code TRX stands for Truncated Entry Exchange. This SEC code is used in the context of Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions, which are electronic payments or collections made through the ACH network. The transaction type for TRX is a single entry ACH debit.
TRX is used for transactions where multiple checks are truncated and converted into a single electronic file for batch processing through the ACH network. This allows for efficient handling of large volumes of check conversions. TRX transactions are processed as ACH entries, meaning the funds are electronically transferred from the check writers’ bank accounts to the payee’s account in a batch format. This method streamlines the processing of multiple transactions, reducing the time and effort required for individual check handling.
