What information does the Company/Batch Header Record include?

Details of the transaction amount and receiver
Routing number of the ODFI and SEC Code of the entry
Control totals for the batch
Trace number of the transaction

The correct answer is: Routing number of the ODFI and SEC Code of the entry

The Company/Batch Header Record provides critical information about the batch of ACH transactions being processed. Specifically, it includes the routing number of the Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI), which is essential for directing the ACH entries to the correct financial institution. Additionally, it contains the Standard Entry Class (SEC) code, which indicates the type of the transactions contained within the batch, such as direct deposit or corporate payment. By outlining both the ODFI's routing number and the SEC code, the Company/Batch Header Record establishes the framework within which the batch is processed, helping processors correctly interpret the transactions that follow in the record sequence. This information is vital for ensuring accurate routing and processing of these electronic payments.
