2025 Dates:

Dates, Times, and Topics for 2025 Power Hour Sessions are below:

• Wednesday, September 10, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm - ACH Volume Reporting Alternatives with Affirmative      

With SFE preparing to sunset its ACH Volume Reporting service, many financial institutions are evaluating the best path forward. Whether you’re seeking a direct replacement or aiming to level up your ACH oversight, this session will help you explore smarter, more strategic alternatives.

Join SFE and the Affirmative Team to learn how our modern platform delivers more than just volume totals, offering dashboards, automated alerts, and strategic insights that act as a force multiplier for your operations and risk teams.

What You’ll Learn:

• What sets Affirmative’s solution apart: volume data plus actionable analytics
• How Affirmative supports compliance with OCC guidelines and Nacha rules, including the upcoming 2026 changes
• How our platform strengthens risk management with Originator dashboards, risk ratings, and return rate alerts
• How clients use our insights to uncover growth opportunities and optimize treasury relationships

• Thursday, September 25, To AI or Not to AI - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm 

Generative AI has captured the imagination of entrepreneurs and has subsequently been inserted into virtually all daily business activities. GenAI has the prospect to dramatically increase productivity and deliver unique insights. Yet it can also get things wrong and even … hallucinate! For these reasons, most FIs have disabled access to any Gen AI tools. But is this the right course of action for harnessing this important new technology? David will provide a blueprint for understanding the role of GenAI in future financial services, detail the steps needed to safely address GenAI risk, and provide specific examples of GenAI usage. This session will guide you to an understanding of where and when GenAI must become part of your services and may be the most important one you attend this year.
