TEL does not mean a telephone company (like AT&T or Verizon) charged you, nor is it a phone bill fee. It simply describes the medium of payment authorization (phone call).
TEL の詳細解説
TEL is used when a consumer gives oral authorization over the phone to have funds debited from their checking account via ACH.
Nacha operating rules strictly mandate that originators of TEL debits must either record the entire oral authorization phone call or provide a written confirmation to the consumer prior to the settlement date.
Commonly occurs when calling an insurance company, utility provider, or medical billing office to make a one-time payment over the phone using checking account and routing details.
