National Check Professional (NCP)

Demonstrate Your Abilities as a Check Expert

There are tens of billions of check payments each year, valued at tens of trillions of dollars. Forward collection is now completely electronic, using image exchange, and the Federal Reserve has proposed changes to Regulation CC. National Check Professionals (NCP) are ahead of the curve and stay educated on what’s happening in this changing environment.

National Check Professionals have proven knowledge in every significant aspect of the check payment system including: products and operations, relevant rules and laws governing checks, industry standards, as well as fraud and risk mitigation.

Benefits of Becoming a National Check Professional

Earning your credential as an NCP has a wide array of benefits. As an individual, your accreditation demonstrates to your employer that you’re committed to the profession, which can provide opportunities for personal career growth. Once you have your accreditation, you’ll become the “go-to” check expert, positioning yourself for professional advancement and recognition and staying on the leading edge of impactful industry trends and actions.

For a financial institution or company, it improves audit performance and customer service, enhances an organization’s reputation by demonstrating knowledge in fraud, risk management and compliance, and keeps a finger on the pulse of new trends, practices, and products.
