CPP certification
From what I've heard, the ETA was
promoting the Certified Payments
Professional program when it
started the program, but now it
doesn't seem to have any traction.
What gives? My ISO doesn't think
the CPP is worth it, and I'm leaning
in the same direction. Is there some
kind of definitive conclusion on this?

Luke,

We do not have data on the
effectiveness of the Electronic
Transactions Association's CPP
program. The ETA maintains a
web page that details the programs
array benefits at www.electran.org/
certification/eta-cpp-program/.

Our MLS Forum also has a thread
begun July 30, 2019, and titled
"Certified Payment Professionals"
where several members have shared
their perspectives on the program.
To read and comment on that thread,
you'll need to be a member of the
MLS Forum, and you can join that
via the Forums tab on our home
page, www.greensheet.com.
