Accredited Automated Clearing House Professional - AAP

The AAP is kind of like those necklaces The Wizard gave the Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow. Only this one designates verified expertise in payments and payment technologies.

It comes from the governing body The Electronic Payments Association...basically the Harvard of Payments Associations. To keep her necklace, one needs 60 hours of continuing ed every five years, and must get the letters AAP after their name on their business cards.
