Payments Associations

Payments Associations are independently-run, American not-for-profit trade associations that provide electronic payments-related education and operational support to payments professionals. Each association is a direct member of Nacha and is certified to provide continuing education in payments, particularly in Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. Payments Association membership allows payments professionals to earn the Accredited ACH Professional (AAP) and the Accredited Payments Risk Professional (APRP) designations.

The initial association was California -based WesPay (formerly CACHA), established in 1972.[1]
