In the world of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and the throngs of other social platforms, it is sometimes hard to know where to turn for trusted information.
Enter Alerts from the Association of Payment Professionals: a social platform designed specifically for you! APP launched its very own social media platform to provide members with their very own spot on the web to interact, learn and connect with other professionals interested in the payment ecosystem. in 2021 the new Alerts system replaced the prior system used by APP. In doing so, we are able to provide some new features, while maintaining the original capabilities that so many APP members rely upon in their risk mitigation processes each day.
Some things to note:
-
To adhere to antitrust compliance guidelines and other legal requirements, all alerts posts must be moderated and approved before they can be distributed to members.
-
Some alert categories remain restricted and require an additional application for access.
-
Users must log in to the APP website and be validated as a current member with appropriate rights to access the Alerts community.
-
Moderating posts is done by a small group of staff and volunteers. During some periods, this may create delays in reviewing and posting content.
-
Restricted Alert categories still have forms to submit initial posts to provide standardized content. Maintaining this feature was a request of existing members and users.
