HERNDON, VA. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 15, 2020--In honor of National APRP Recognition Day, which is commemorated annually on the third Tuesday of September, Nacha will recognize over 360 Accredited Payments Risk Professionals.

The APRP exam tests for comprehensive risk management knowledge across all payment types, including check, wire, debit, credit and prepaid cards, emerging and alternative payments, and ACH. To become an APRP, individuals must pass an exam, administered by Nacha, that tests their knowledge of subjects including the fundamentals of payments risk management, payments systems, payments risk policy and governance, payments risk management systems and controls, physical and information security, and the regulatory environment.

“It is our honor to recognize each APRP for mastering the complexities of risk management in the payments industry,” said Stephanie Prebish, AAP, CTP, Senior Director & Group Manager, Association Services, at Nacha.

“While there have been many changes in the industry – and life itself – for consumers and businesses alike over the last few months, the payments ecosystem continues to be bolstered by a growing group of credentialed experts who can effectively help manage payments risk for organizations, enhance payments processes, maintain sound payments practices, and ensure compliance with regulations,” Prebish said.
