In the Guide to Electronic Payments course, we explore the various electronic payment systems, including ACH, wire transfers, FedNow, Venmo, Xoom, and Zelle. We also delve into the controls needed for these payment systems, and discuss how to most effectively convert from check payments to electronic payments.
