NACHA’s Annual Conference Hits Critical Topics in Payments
PAYMENTS 08 to feature key industry issues, innovative solutions
HERNDON, Va., February 28, 2008—Is the cell phone about to replace the wallet? Will the disappearance of international border constraints from the payments landscape open as many doors to potential risk as it does to business growth opportunities?
Financial institutions and businesses can choose from more than 130 sessions addressing these and other key industry issues at NACHA’s annual conference, PAYMENTS 08, May 18–21 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“The payments industry is seeing tremendous change from a host of innovative initiatives that will improve the efficiency and transparency of transactions between corporations and their banks,” said Jim Wills, business manager, Standards Sales Support, SWIFT and member of the conference planning committee. “Never before has it been so important for anyone involved in the payments industry to attend this conference.”
Conference attendees can learn about the mobile payments technology that is sweeping the industry, hear from industry leaders about the globalization of electronic payments, and acquire strategies for staying ahead of those who would use payments systems to commit fraud.
“Even beyond the educational sessions and workshops is the opportunity to interact in a meaningful way with both peers and leaders in the industry,” said Danne Buchanan, executive vice president at Zions Bancorporation and conference planning committee chair. “PAYMENTS is the premier networking opportunity for anyone in the payments industry. If your business either originates or receives payments, you will want to be in Las Vegas May 18–21.”
