Southington, Conn., Feb. 2016 – Betsy Didan, First Vice President of Cash Management and Payment Services at COCC, has been elected to serve on the board of directors of NEACH Payments Group.
NEACH Payments Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of NEACH, the New England Automated Clearing House Association. “The goal of NEACH Payments Group is to help financial institutions and payments industry stakeholders comply with rules and regulatory requirements and to benefit from the opportunities the changing payments environment brings to the industry,” said Linda N. O’Hara, President of NEACH.
In forming the board for NEACH Payments Group, NEACH sought out a mix of financial institutions and businesses. “The industry is changing and we welcome someone from a processor perspective who will identify the changing needs of clients,” said Ms. O’Hara. “NPG will benefit from Ms. Didan’s forty years of experience and knowledge serving banks and credit unions.” Ms. Didan has been involved in numerous projects along the evolution of the payments system. She has decades of experience in bank operations and cash management and broad experience in payment systems. We are delighted to have her on board.” Ms. Didan has been with COCC since 2004. Notably, Ms. Didan developed, promoted and supported innovative technologies that have reduced paper and increased the speed and security of payments throughout the Northeastern US.
COCC’s client base and experience in the industry as a whole made a good match for continued collaboration with NEACH, as well. “It’s a really great partnership,” said Ms. O’Hara. “With so many major initiatives going on in payment systems, we need organizations like COCC that are keeping up with that pace of change.”
