What is an ACH Return Code?
An ACH return code is a standardized code used to explain why an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction was returned by the receiving bank.
Codes are issued by the Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) and maintained by Nacha, the organization that governs the ACH Network. Certain codes may apply to consumer accounts, non-consumer (business) accounts, or both. These codes help banks, payment processors, and originators understand what went wrong during an ACH transaction so they can determine the appropriate next steps, such as retrying the payment, correcting information, or contacting the customer.
Why you're seeing ACH Return Code R66
R66 means the “Company Identification” details on the ACH return don’t match what they should be for the original entry. 
This is typically triggered by a mismatch between the company ID in the transaction data and the company/batch header information associated with that return. 
- The Company ID on the return doesn’t match the Company ID on the original entry. This can happen if the return was built with the wrong company or batch header values. 
- A setup or data-entry issue caused the wrong company identifier to be used. Common causes include manual input mistakes or outdated company details not being updated everywhere they’re referenced.
