Over 290 payments professionals, including 134 AAPs, trekked The Road to Knowledge at the Mid-America Payments Conference 2009 in Kansas City, Missouri. Discussions not only focused on current and emerging banking issues, but also what a financial institution or organization needs to evaluate in order to be competitive in the years to come. Attendees explored different payment avenues such as mobile banking, remote deposit capture, international payments and emerging card solutions as well as identified tools for mitigating fraud and risk within the industry. Make plans now to attend the 2010 Mid-America Payments Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, at the Westin Crown Center.
