These abbreviations relate to an 'application' type, and help determine
the detail record format. ACH applications are classified as being either
consumer or corporate payments, depending on the relationship between
the parties.
Common applications are:
PPD - Prearranged Payment and Deposit Entry (Consumer)
This is used for credit transactions such as direct deposit of payroll,
pension, dividends, as well as debit transactions such as payment of utility
bills, mortgages, loans and other recurring payments.
CCD -Cash Concentration or Disbursement (Corporate)
Can be used to consolidate and sweep cash funds within an entity's
controlled accounts, or make/collect payments to/from other corporate
entities.
The format and information requirements for PPD and CCD are identical.
In addition they each can support one addendum record.
CTX - Corporate Trade Exchange (Corporate)
Supports the transfer of funds (debit or credit) with another entity in
which you have an existing trading relationship. This format supports ANSI
ASC X12 payment related information, which can be placed in multiple (up
to 9,999) addendum records.
