We invite you to listen to an interview with Mary Gilmeister, President of the Wisconsin Automated Clearinghouse Association (WACHA) and a member of the Retail Payments Risk Forum’s Advisory Group. Launched in August 2009, this is the second iteration of the Retail Payments Risk Forum’s Payments Spotlight podcast series.

In this interview, Ms. Gilmeister touches upon the following topics:

  • The roles of regional payments associations like WACHA,
  • thoughts on managing the emerging risk of commercial account takeovers which result in fraudulent ACH transfers,
  • protecting the elderly from financial fraud,
  • the role of the NACHA Risk Management Advisory Group, and
  • new risk issues in the emerging payments environment.

If you have not already, we also invite you to give a listen to the first installment of Payments Spotlight, which featured a conversation with Woody Tyner, payments strategist at BB&T Bank in North Carolina.

We hope that you will not only check out this installment but also tune in on a regular basis as we feature other leading thinkers and practitioners representing a wide array of perspectives. You can listen to the Payments Spotlight podcast using any computer audio software that will play MP3 files.
