Other ACH Controls
This guide describes other Galileo APIs to monitor and approve ACH transactions, as well as CST controls for ACH accounts and transactions.
Events API webhooks for ACH
Depending on product configuration, ACH events may trigger when an ACH transaction fails. Different events are triggered depending on the direction of the transaction and whether it debits or credits the receiver’s account.
See Transaction Events Index for more information on these events.
| Direction | Event | Trigger | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming | ACHC: ach_credit_fail | An incoming ACH credit request fails. Set the FACHA parameter to enable this event. | You or Galileo initiate an ACH return. |
| Incoming | ACHR: ach_debit_fail | An incoming ACH debit request fails. Set the FACHA parameter to enable this event. | You or Galileo initiate an ACH return. |
| Outgoing | FACH: ach_credit_return | An outgoing ACH debit is returned by the external receiver. | If funds have been transferred, Galileo adjusts the funds out of your customer’s account and transfers them to the external bank. |
| Outgoing | ACRT: ach_return | An outgoing ACH transaction (debit or credit) is returned by the external receiver. Set the NTSAA parameter to enable this event. | If funds have been transferred, Galileo adjusts the funds in your customer’s account and, if necessary, transfers funds to the external receiver. |
| Incoming Outgoing | BADJ: adj | An ACH transaction debits funds from the cardholder account. | None |
| Incoming Outgoing | BPMT: pmt | An ACH transaction credits funds to the cardholder account. | None |
External Trans API for ACH
You can choose to approve or deny incoming ACH debit requests via the External Trans API ACH Debit Webhook. When you reject an incoming debit request, Galileo initiates an ACH return. If you do not respond to an incoming debit request, additional requests will be sent until you respond or the maximum number of attempts has been reached. In the latter case, an ACH return will be initiated.
When a transaction requires approval, it is posted in the CST on the ACH Returns page (System Administration > Other Tools > ACH Returns). During product setup, the ACDBX parameter must be set to approve or deny ACH returns via the External Trans API.
Using the CST for ACH
The CST has tools to help you manage ACH accounts, transactions, and returns. This section describes ACH controls in the CST Account tab and the System Administration tab.
Note
Some controls may not be available for all users, depending on your administrator’s Roles and Rights settings.

In the CST Account tab, you can manage ACH accounts linked to a customer’s account, view ACH transactions and returns, and manage automated ACH handling. This table describes ACH controls in the CST Account tab.
