With over 20 years of payments expertise, Kevin Olsen, known by many in the industry as the “Payments Professor,” has been invited to present as part of Nacha 2023’s Kick-Start Sessions to inform new and seasoned payments professionals about the latest trends in the industry. Olsen will present his session titled, “What Do Financial Institutions Need for Faster Payments” on Sunday, April 16 at 2:05 p.m. PDT. During his presentation, Olsen will answer the most pressing questions about the various faster payments options, including same-day ACH, real-time payments and FedNow. He will also explore faster payments use cases, potential new product and service offerings, opportunities for cost savings and ways to improve engagement with account holders, and much more.
Nacha Smarter Faster Payments is known as the premier payments conference where industry professionals come to learn about the latest trends in payments. This year’s conference will host more than 120 speaking sessions presented by payments leaders who will provide actionable, cutting-edge education about the future of payments.
“Both businesses and consumers alike are showing significant interest in real-time payments, and many are even willing to pay fees in certain use cases to ensure that recipients can access funds quickly,” said Kevin Olsen, SVP of Innovation and Strategy at Pidgin. “As the demand for faster payments grows and more financial institutions prepare for the upcoming launch of the Federal Reserve’s FedNow service, there is no better time than now for financial institution leaders to learn the many ways that faster payments can benefit their own institution as well as their account holders.”
Olsen continued, “Financial institutions of all sizes should reflect on the unique characteristics of faster payments and the various use cases that will benefit both the institution and the customer, no matter how payments evolve in the future. I’m honored to have the opportunity to speak about this topic at Nacha this year, and to also gain deeper insight from other industry professionals.”
