One Day. One Topic. All In.

The Smartest Way to Spend a Day Online.

PaymentsIQ Live!—a new, annual, one-day virtual deep dive into one topic that’s lighting up the industry. No surface-level panels. No endless tracks. Just one big, bold subject, explored from every angle by the brightest minds in the game.

We’re talking real insights. Real conversations. Real impact. And yes—just one day, so you can learn, connect, and get back to work smarter than ever. Each year, we tackle a single topic that's too important to skim—think real-time payments, embedded finance, fraud evolution, regulatory shake-ups, and more.

This year’s focus? Third Parties in the ACH Network—and it’s changing everything.

Whether you're a payments veteran, a fintech founder, a risk wrangler, or an operations optimist, this is your yearly reset button: bold ideas, practical takeaways, and the energy of a fast-moving industry packed into one unforgettable day. It'll quickly become your brain’s favorite day of the year!

Third parties are the connective tissue of today’s payments ecosystem—powering everything from transaction processing and fraud detection to compliance, onboarding, and embedded finance. But with innovation comes complexity. These players are often behind the scenes, yet their performance, reliability, and risk exposure directly impact your business. Ignore them, and you risk operational blind spots, regulatory headaches, and lost competitive edge. Understand them, and you unlock smarter partnerships, faster go-to-market, and stronger infrastructure. It’s time to unpack the third-party layer—because what you don’t see can hurt you.

This one-day virtual event puts third parties in the ACH center stage.

You’ll get insight-packed sessions and honest conversations about the opportunities—and risks—of third parties in the ACH Network.

Topics include:

• Understanding the difference between Third-Party Service Providers, Third-Party Senders, and Nested Third-Party Senders.
• Third-party vendor showcase.
• Navigating third-party agreements.
• Mitigating third-party risks.

Third parties aren’t just support systems anymore—they’re strategic payments partners. Whether you’re building with them, buying from them, or betting on them, this event gives you a 360° view of how third parties are shaping the next decade in payments.

If third parties touch your ACH payments strategy or growth plans—this event is built for you. All are welcome to attend.

• Banks & Credit Unions evaluating partners for real-time, cross-border, or embedded payments.
• Fintechs & Platforms designing payment flows using third-party rails and APIs.
• Investors & Analysts tracking trends in payments infrastructure and services.
