Meet Finastra at Nacha: Smarter Faster Payments 2026

Tuesday, April 28, 4:10 - 5:00 PM PST

ACH continues to be one of the most critical rails in the U.S. payments ecosystem, but its role is rapidly expanding. As volumes surge and business use cases diversify, financial institutions are encountering new expectations around speed, intelligence, interoperability, and operational resilience. ACH is no longer just a dependable workhorse, it is becoming a strategic lever for growth, customer experience, and competitive differentiation.

To meet this moment, banks are reassessing the limitations of monolithic or legacy ACH engines and moving toward modern, unified platforms that can scale with rising demand. A future-ready ACH environment must be designed to evolve with market changes, support innovation without disruption, and operate seamlessly alongside other U.S. clearings. It must also deliver end-to-end compliance and data integrity as regulatory requirements become more dynamic and transaction risks grow more complex.

We will explore how institutions can modernize their ACH foundations with forward looking architectures that support new use cases, simplify operations, reduce cost, and improve time to value. Leaders will discuss the patterns shaping modern ACH, the operational impact of real-time expectations, and how a single, scalable approach helps banks unlock efficiency, resilience, and business value across their domestic payments landscape.
