Brought to the industry through a partnership between Nacha and the US Faster Payments Council, Accredited Faster Payments Professionals (AFPP) have mastered the complexities of all faster payment types, including Same Day ACH, RTP®, FedNow and Push-to-Card.
Any professional in the payments industry can work toward accreditation. If you have worked in payments for years, you will add a highly respected qualification to your resume. If you are relatively new to the field, you will give yourself an edge over the competition.
Gain a Competitive Advantage
Having training that your competitors don’t have can set you apart when pursuing new business opportunities or bidding on new projects. AFPPs demonstrate a commitment to understanding and excelling in faster payments.
Remain Compliant & Current
AFPPs have mastered the complexities of faster payments, including Same Day ACH, FedNow, RTP®, and Push-to-Card. AFPPs are tested on the functions and operations of each payment type, risk management and technology considerations and the regulatory environment. Auditors and regulators typically look to see if the organization employs AFPPs.
Execute Projects More Efficiently
Organizations employing AFPPs benefit from the advanced training and knowledge gained from specialized coursework in faster payments, equipping organizations with tools and strategies that will guide you in project execution. AFPPs are committed to superior professionalism, remaining on top of a rapidly changing environment and upholding industry standards.
Build Professional Credibility
As an AFPP, you will become the "go-to" faster payments expert in your organization and professional network. An increasing number of organizations want (or may even be required) to engage AFPPs. Being an AFPP can help boost your professional credibility and prestige within your own network and with your current clients.
