Accredited Payments Risk Professionals (APRP) have mastered the complexities of risk management for ACH, check, wire, debit, credit and prepaid cards, and emerging and alternative payments. The next exam window is July 1-20, 2019.
Any professional in the payments industry can work toward accreditation. If you have worked in payments for years, you will add a highly respected qualification to your resume. If you are relatively new to the field, you will give yourself an edge over the competition. At a minimum, NACHA recommends spending two years working in the payments industry before taking the APRP exam.

Having training that your competitors don’t have can set you apart when pursuing new business opportunities or bidding on new projects. APRPs demonstrate a commitment to understanding and excelling in electronic payments risk management.
APRPs have mastered the complexities of risk management for ACH, check, wire, debit, credit and prepaid cards, and emerging and alternative payments. APRPs can help identify and fine-tune current processes and procedures or implement a new, more sophisticated approach. Auditors and regulators typically look to see if the organization employs APRPs.
Organizations employing APRPs benefit from the advanced training and knowledge gained from specialized coursework in risk management, equipping organizations with tools and strategies that will guide you in project execution. APRPs are committed to superior professionalism and upholding industry standards.
As an APRP, you will become the "go-to" payments risk expert in your organization and professional network. An increasing number of organizations want (or may even be required) to engage APRPs. Being an APRP can help boost your professional credibility and prestige within your own network and with your current clients.
