ECC Work Groups

The Electronic Check Council has recently restructured the Work Groups. There are now three main Work Groups that will address many issues. Under of each of these Work Groups will be task forces. Task forces are smaller groups that tackle specific issues. When the work of each task force is completed, it will be dissolved.

The Work Groups and task forces are as follows:

  • Customer Service Phone Number Task Force (Roster) - this task force is currently developing a survey to determine if our members feel that including a valid, customer service phone number in the company/batch header record is a tool that would aid in customer service issues, administrative returns and verify appropriate authorizations.
  • Ineligible Items Task Force (Roster) - this task force will be determining what can be done to process ineligible items as well as the operational challenges involved.

In order to receive information regarding the Work Groups and/or task forces, as well as conference call information you MUST be a registered member of that specific Work Group(s) and /or task force(s). Work Groups and task forces are open to members of the Electronic Check Council only.

The Work Groups and task forces typically meet by conference call once a month (or more as needed) and three times a year in person at the ECC Meetings.

 

 

The mission of the Electronic Check Council is to provide a forum for stakeholders to design, propose, monitor, and promote solutions that enable the conversion of paper checks to electronic entries.
