It’s hard to overstate the importance of accreditation in payments. Nacha and ECCHO have established standards and rules for operations and accreditation acts as an external stamp of approval that you follow industry standards and best practices. When you become accredited you demonstrate expertise in a particular area and commit to participating in on-going education to continuously improve your skills, increasing your marketability and benefiting your employer. NEACH hosts test preparation programs to help you master the exams as well as professional development sessions eligible for continuing education credits.
