Changes to the payments landscape in financial services are happening fast. The arrival of innovative services like instant payments and real-time processing have also hastened this transformation. Today’s customers are finding new channels for payments and creating millions of debits and credits on your balance sheet.
The Massachusetts Bankers Association (MBA) and New England Automated Clearing House (NEACH) are again collaborating on the 3rd Annual Payments School. Together, we provide a foundational understanding of the payments vertical, helping you and your team navigate these challenges and identify opportunities in an evolving world. The Payments School will move quickly through fundamental topics such as the various payment rails, overviews of the rules that govern the different payment channels while also focusing the agenda on advanced concepts in payments, risk management and strategic planning.
This virtual school is an ideal forum for anyone looking to learn more about the payment space such as retail managers, operations, risk managers and new entrants to financial services looking to expand their knowledge on this rapidly evolving core function at your bank.
The lead facilitator for the school is Mark Dixon, Vice President, Education at NEACH. Mark created the Payments School with the Association and is now returning in the 3rd year to direct all sessions.
