For any financial institution or remittance processor, it is vital to understand the Evolving Payment System and the effect it has on their organization. Equally important is the ability to examine the forces driving change and how such changes can present opportunities for your organization.
Wausau Financial Systems is proud to present Tara Rice, Financial Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, as the 2008 keynote speaker at the WAUSAU Customer Conference. Rice will discuss key payment trends by examining the innovations, incentives and regulations driving those trends.
“When we present a keynote speaker, it is critical their material and experience exceed attendee expectations and provide our customers with industry knowledge to help them in their business planning. With that said, the Evolving Payment System keynote session will offer attendees a comprehensive understanding of the forces driving change in the payments industry,” said Doug Deardorf, Vice President of Marketing and Channel Sales, WAUSAU Financial Systems.
WAUSAU’s Customer Conference takes place April 14-17 at the Midwest Airlines Center, Milwaukee, WI.
