Nacha and the U.S. Faster Payments Council, in collaboration with our nation’s Payments Associations, formed an alliance in 2022 to create the Accredited Faster Payments Professional (AFPP) program. This partnership demonstrates a cross-industry collaboration to benefit the entire payments ecosystem.
The AFPP builds on the FPP certificate program, offering a rigorous and centralized accreditation program allowing payments professionals to demonstrate their expertise across all faster payment types, including Same Day ACH, instant payments, and wire.
