Company/Batch Header Record Format

The Company/Batch Header Record identifies the originating company and briefly describes the prearranged credit; for example, REG SALARY indicates the reason for the transactions originated by your organization.

In addition, this record can indicate the intended effective date of all transactions within the batch.

The Company/Batch Header Record also contains the transit-routing number (that is, a nine-digit number, including check digit) that uniquely identifies each depository financial institution. The information contained in this record applies uniformly to all subsequent Entry Detail Records in the batch.
