The Clearing House (TCH) has announced the expanded adoption of its Token Service, a next-generation bank account tokenization solution designed to protect the information associated with bank account numbers and help mitigate risks associated with fraud and data breaches across the financial ecosystem.

When a client links their account information with a third party, tokenization replaces sensitive payment account information with a “token,” protecting consumers by concealing their actual bank account numbers so they are not shared. The service, which is available for ACH transactions on the EPN^® network and for instant payments on the RTP^® network, is now being adopted more broadly by banks, setting an industry standard and paving the way for new applications for payments, data security, and fraud risk mitigation.
