The new Accredited Faster Payments Professional (AFPP) designation is designed to recognize and build expertise for faster payments. Having an AFPP on staff promotes the credibility of your team by enhancing knowledge of instant payments operations, regulations, products and trends. Are you up for the challenge?
This series is intended for those serious about sitting for the exam in 2026. This curriculum provides the high-level direction and training that candidates need to prepare. Participants must visit the Nacha website to register for the AFPP Exam.
This is an advanced program. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain the Faster Payments Certificate from The Clearing House Payments Authority prior to taking this course.
