ST. PAUL, MN (June 27, 2013) Two MnIPC staff members – Michelle Carlson and Ryan Fox— received certification as National Check Professionals last week in the National Check Professional Certification (NCPC) program, enabling them to demonstrate expertise in the various aspects of check payments. The certification is provided by Electronic Check Clearing House Organization (ECCHO), a not-for-profit corporation that provides and maintains national rules regarding both paper and electronic check payments.
Carlson, MnIPC Vice President, and Fox, Accounting & System Administrator, spent six months preparing for the 120-question exam, which demonstrates “a working knowledge of every significant aspect of the new check payment system including products and operations, relevant rules and laws that govern checks, industry standards and fraud and risk mitigation considerations,” according to ECCHO.
“The National Check Professional certification is the ‘gold standard’ in check payment industry, and the information on trends and regulations helps to sharpen our knowledge in many areas,” Carlson said. “Having two staff who are NCP-certified gives MnIPC a credible competitive advantage over other professionals in the check payment industry today.”
