Elevate Your Career
Are you ready to position yourself for professional advancement? Accreditation shows you have superior skills and abilities, a level of commitment to your profession, and that you have invested your valuable time and resources to prove that you are an experienced payments professional.
Curriculum developed by The Clearing House Payments Authority (TCHPA) is designed to offer continuing education credits for Accredited ACH Professionals (AAPs), National Check Professionals (NCPs), Accredited Payments Risk Professionals (APRPs) and more (i.e., Certified Treasury Professionals or CTPs).

Checks still play a significant role in payments so it’s important to know the legal framework, operational and regulatory requirements and responsibilities for compliance. The NCP designation is designed to recognize and build check expertise. Having an NCP on staff promotes the credibility of your team by enhancing knowledge of check operations, regulations, products and services. Are you up for the challenge?
