When I first started working with ACH in 2008, one of the first training sessions I attended was Payments Systems Update. It was a great way for me to be introduced to ACH and the payments industry, and it definitely sparked my interest in ACH. The trainer did a great job of going over all of the rules changes and updating us on what was going on in the industry.
Now, my organization sends its entire operations department to Payments Systems Update. We believe it is important that each of our staff members stay informed about changes in the industry, and we even include attendance as part of their yearly training objectives. In fact, we purchase the Gold-level Education Club points each year and then use more than half of them sending our staff to Payments Systems Update.
As an AAP, it also gives me a great start for my continuing education credits for the year. With 6.6 credits from this one event, I can complete more than a quarter of my yearly maximum in one day!
Each year, I look forward to attending Payments Systems Update. Aside from being a great training experience, it also gives me an excellent opportunity to network with other payments professionals in my area. I enjoy getting a chance to see what types of issues are affecting other financial institutions.
I will be attending Payments Systems Update this year so that I can check in with other professionals in my area and listen to what Epcor has to say about changes in our industry. I always look forward to this event, and this year is no different. I highly recommend it and hope that you will be able to attend a session in your area.
