Nacha has officially welcomed Walrus Security as a Preferred Partner, reinforcing its efforts to enhance account validation, fraud monitoring, and risk prevention across the ACH ecosystem. This partnership comes at a critical time, as organizations increasingly face sophisticated payment fraud threats, particularly those targeting ACH transactions.
Notably, Walrus Security brings its DoubleCheck platform into the partnership, a solution designed to verify the authenticity of ACH payment details before transactions are processed. By doing so, the platform helps organizations establish stronger controls at the earliest stage of the payment lifecycle. In addition, DoubleCheck ensures that when payment instructions are created or modified, the details are independently confirmed with the counterparty using multi-signal identity verification.
As a result, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions entering the ACH Network. This proactive approach is especially important as fraudsters continue to exploit vulnerabilities in payment workflows, often manipulating beneficiary account information before transactions are initiated.
“At a time when credit-push frauds such as business email compromise are on the rise, organizations should consider the controls they need about the payments they are sending,” said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. “Nacha is pleased to welcome Walrus Security as a Preferred Partner.”
Furthermore, the partnership highlights a growing industry focus on strengthening front-end payment controls rather than relying solely on post-transaction detection. Since many fraud attempts occur before a payment reaches the network, early-stage verification has become a critical line of defense.
Walrus Security’s Founder, Michael Walfish, emphasized this point while explaining the importance of securing payment instructions at their origin.
“Most payment fraud starts before a transaction ever reaches the network, when attackers manipulate payment instructions or substitute their own bank details. DoubleCheck lets organizations authenticate the counterparty before accepting ACH payment information, stopping fraudulent transactions before they are originated,” said Michael Walfish, Walrus Security Founder. “We’re excited to partner with Nacha to support stronger front-end controls across the ACH ecosystem.”
Moreover, this collaboration enables organizations to implement independent verification mechanisms that operate outside of internal systems, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Consequently, enterprises can improve trust in their payment processes while maintaining compliance and reducing operational risk.
Overall, Nacha’s partnership with Walrus Security marks a strategic move toward strengthening fraud prevention in ACH payments. By integrating advanced validation tools like DoubleCheck, the initiative aims to empower organizations with the controls needed to combat evolving payment fraud threats more effectively.
