API – NACHA Return Codes
The National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) set a specific format for formatting E-checks, which includes a set of codes for returned payments. These return codes act as a shorthand, explaining why an E-check was returned. For a full list of return codes and how they're used in the LoanPro UI, see our article on NACHA Returns. Similarly, our article on NACHA in the Secure Payments API lists other relevant articles that go over the API process. This article lists the values associated with each return code in the API.
