BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. - WisconsinEagle -- UMACHA, Upper Midwest Automated Clearing House Association, announced today that Angi Farren AAP, APRP will serve as the association's President and CEO, following Fred Laing's retirement on September 1, 2019. Farren assumed the role of President and CEO on June 1, 2019, overlapping with Laing in order to ensure a smooth transition after 35 years of service with the Payment's Association.
Angi is a seasoned Electronic Payments Professional who brings over 27 years in the payments industry to the position: 11+ years with UMACHA, and an additional 16+ years working in the banking industry developing her expertise in ACH and other electronic banking products and services as well as in risk management, earning her AAP (Accredited ACH Professional) designation in 2000 and the APRP (Accredited Payments Risk Professional) designation in 2018.
Prior to moving into the President and CEO role, Angi served as UMACHA's Executive Vice President and COO overseeing all aspects of the association including membership, education, consulting and compliance services as well as finance, marketing and human resources. She has been a driving force in planning UMACHA's annual Navigating Payments Conference and Fraud Symposiums. She fosters strong relationships both with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and Financial Retailers Protection Association (FRPA) to host these and other large association events.
