ABA Risk & Compliance Conference

Description: Raji Sathappan, CPA, MBA, CRCM, CAMS, CISA, Managing Director of Mercadien’s Financial Institutions Services Group & Devon Marsh, APRP, Managing Director, ACH Network Rules and Risk Management, Nacha will be presenting on “The Payments Risk Balancing Act: Speed, Safety and Customers” at the ABA Risk & Compliance Conference—first during Session 7A on May 6, 2026, from 2:00–2:45 PM, and again during Session 8A on May 7, 2026, from 8:30–9:15 AM in Charlotte, NC.

Session Description: Electronic payments are now the customer expectation—but when network rules, third party risk, and change management fall out of sync, the friction is immediate and felt: failed payments, delayed funds availability, customer complaints, and regulatory exposure. Each breakdown carries a real economic cost—measured in dollars per transaction, days of cash flow delay, increased servicing expense, and escalating compliance risk. As payment rails evolve faster than many risk programs, the gap is widening. This session examines the convergence of payment network rules, TPRM, risk assessments, and regulatory consumer compliance, equipping attendees with practical, actionable insights to identify, prioritize, and mitigate these risks before they impact customers, revenue, or regulators.

We hope to see you there!
