Regional Payments Associations Membership

Regional Payments Associations provide ACH information and resources to financial institutions, corporations, e-commerce companies, and payments technology providers around the country. Regional Payments Associations are located throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Guam, and in most cases, are not-for-profit trade associations whose main membership includes commercial banks, savings banks, credit unions, and savings and loans.

As Direct Members of NACHA, Regional Payments Associations shape the ACH Network and the NACHA Operating Rules by participating in the NACHA Rule Making Process and voting on Rules ballots, and by participating in and leading NACHA Councils, committees, and initiatives. Through membership in Regional Payments Associations, banks and credit unions contribute to the development and future of the ACH Network.

 

While each of the 18 Regional Payments Association stands as a separate organization, all serve the common cause of providing essential benefits to their members. These benefits include NACHA Operating Rules guidance and operational support, ongoing education and training, audit services, marketing tools and guidance, publication sales, and more. Regional Payments Associations also act as advocates of the ACH Network to local and state government.

 

For more information on membership or training opportunities, contact your Regional Payments Association or info@nacha.org today.
