HERNDON, Va., Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nacha announces the launch of SPEAK (Strengthening Payments Engagement and Knowledge), its new online, on-demand learning system that further expands its leadership in payments education.

"Nacha has been a leader in providing comprehensive payments education for professionals of all levels for much of its existence. The launch of SPEAK is an expansion of our leadership role – this time in the virtual learning space," said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. "We are especially appreciative of the opportunity to work with our PA members to develop and deliver top-level education via this new learning platform.
"SPEAK is an economical way for the industry to engage and bolster its payments education, as well as an opportunity for payments professionals to demonstrate their commitment to continued education to their employer," Larimer said.
