RESTON, Virginia, Sept. 3, 2026 - Nacha announced today that dhango is now a Nacha Preferred Partner for Risk and Fraud Prevention, Compliance, and Open Banking.

dhango provides white-labeled payments infrastructure that enables software platforms to embed ACH through a single API. Its ACH capabilities include merchant onboarding and underwriting, KYC/AML screening, authorization management, exposure and velocity controls, return and dispute management, and Third-Party Sender support for platforms originating high ACH volumes.

"As organizations use software platforms to originate ACH payments, strong risk management and compliance practices are important to maintaining a safe ACH Network," said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. "We are pleased to welcome dhango as a Nacha Preferred Partner."

"Software platforms are originating more ACH volume every year, and the quality of their infrastructure has a real effect on the quality of that ACH volume," said Milan Malkani, Founder of dhango. "Joining the Preferred Partner Program keeps our team close to the industry conversations that shape ACH. For our customers, that means the ACH capabilities embedded in their platforms are built on current standards and sound risk practices. For the industry, it means the new generation of platforms embedding ACH is building on Nacha's standards, not around them."

Nacha's Preferred Partner Program is open to any technology solution provider whose offerings align with the Nacha strategy of advancing the ACH Network. For more information about the program, visit Nacha's Preferred Partner page.
