Circle Meetings are held twice a year and include both small, moderated roundtable sessions with colleagues, and informative, detailed presentations by experts and innovators in the payments arena. Members will have the opportunity to interact with leading industry thinkers in the ACH arena as well as with peers facing similar issues and concerns while discussing today’s most important ACH topics.

Networking...

Networking with other members within the ACH Circle through circle meeting attendance, one day regional meetings organized around a hot topic, invitation-only gatherings, and PIC’s interactive website.
