NACHA’s Elevation to Support Vments with Implementation of its CommunityVcash Solution
HERNDON, Va. (PRWEB) October 24, 2018 -- Elevation, NACHA’s consultative services group, announced it would be supporting Vments, a financial technology provider, with the implementation of its CommunityVcash solution through strategic guidance and the development of rules. The rules would govern the exchange of data and transactions that flow through the platform as well as the network of financial institutions and financial service providers that will leverage the platform.
Vments’ CommunityVcash leveraging its Enterprise Digital Banking (EDB) platform, enables financial institutions and financial service providers to extend the capabilities of their existing online and mobile banking and digital wallet apps by providing their customers and clients with a way to use and exchange “true digital cash.” Users, banked and unbanked alike, can leverage CommunityVcash for a variety of transactions including person-to-person payments, merchant payments, and bill payments.
“Supporting the unbanked and underbanked population continues to be a challenge for the U.S. financial services industry,” said George Throckmorton, managing director, advanced payments solutions at NACHA. “But innovative technologies and solutions like Vments’ CommunityVcash provide a seamless means for this segment of the population to take advantage of more electronic payment options and gain access to much-needed financial services. Elevation is proud to be part of this effort to bring a solution to market that could have a transformative impact on payments and the financial services industry.”
“Not only will CommunityVcash significantly benefit business and individual users, it will also provide great value to banking and financial services client and partner network participants that utilize Vments’ rails,” said Steven Wasserman, CEO and Founder of Vments. “Through our EDB platform and CommunityVcash, participants will be able to reduce costs and risks, create new revenue opportunities, and retain and grow their customer base. With this impactful and far-reaching initiative, there was no other group we felt better suited to support our rollout than Elevation. We are excited to be working with this trusted partner to deliver a big win to the financial services industry.”
