Issue tracker 451046, this portion is internal because Thomson Reuters doesn't promote the use of EFX Financial Institution (aka EFX Bank)
EFX Financial Institution (www.efxfinancialservices.com) allows for direct deposit transactions to be combined into a single file even when they don't have the same Immediate origin name in record 1 position 64-86. Their standard recommendation is to fill in based on the first client in the file since they don't actually look at that field, which we cannot do. EFX does not look at the Immediate Destination Name in position 41-63. Instead they get that information from another source.
Through working with EFX representative, we determined that their customers would need to verify they had the following settings
Note: Other fields may be required, this is just an example
This is for a non-impound transactions:
- Originator Bank: Client Bank
- Immediate Origin: Firm EIN (EFX needs firm routing number)
- Immediate Origin Name: Firm Name (EFX doesn't use)
- Immediate Destination: Firm (EFX needs firm routing number)
