News! Alliance Releases "Myth-busting Crypto: A Friendly Guide"
Crypto questions are showing up everywhere—from branches and call centers to fraud and risk teams. Help your staff communicate clearly and give customers a neutral resource they can trust.
The Alliance created “Myth-busting Crypto: A Friendly Guide” to help financial institutions cut through hype, explain key concepts in plain language, and reinforce trust & safety basics in a payments context.
Alliance Advances Quantum-Safe Payments Education for World Quantum Day
In support of World Quantum Day, Nacha’s Payments Innovation Alliance strengthened its focus on quantum‑safe payments with a new educational blog series from industry experts. Building on the Alliance’s foundational paper, “Protecting Payments in the Quantum Era: Setting a Course for Action,” the series helps move the payments ecosystem from awareness to action by translating emerging theory into practical, industry‑ready guidance.
