The Payments Institute (TPI) Scholarship Recipients
EPCOR awards two TPI scholarships annually, the John P. Borden Payments Scholarship and the Anthony Cope Payments Scholarship. Hosted by NACHA – The Electronic Payments Association, TPI is an intensive 5-day educational experience providing attendees an opportunity to learn about the latest advancements, products, services, processes, applications and risk in all payments systems – ACH, cards, checks and wires.

EPCOR TPI scholarships are named in honor of two individuals who exhibited leadership, foresight, determination and commitment to the early development of their associations and the ACH Network.

John P. Borden was President of Mid-America Payment Exchange and The Greater Kansas City Clearing House Association. Mr. Borden was instrumental in advancing the ACH Network, establishing one of the first Regional Payments (ACH) Associations in the country and launching the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA).

Anthony Cope was President of The Ohio Educational Credit Union, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Cope was an early adopter of ACH in its formative years and served his industry and the ACH Network for many years as an Association leader and proponent of electronic payments technology.
