ACH Universal encrypts account numbers using the most secure symmetrical encryption algorithm available (AES-256). AES is used by the U.S. and Canadian governments as their standards for encrypting data.
Hashing - Insertion/change protection
Each transaction record is hashed--and the hash is encrypted--to insure that records remain unchanged and that no records are inserted by circumventing the system.
