What is New?
M@Cademy is a new educational initiative developed based on member feedback and requests. It is designed to help address training and development needs for individuals new to the industry or profession -- answering the question, "What should every payments professional know about [X]?" Our first course is now live and we are working to expand the range of available courses to nearly a dozen by the end of the calendar year, and more than 20 are now planned for the year ahead. We are planning to introduce new courses roughly once per quarter and will notify members and past course attendees when new courses are available.
