The TAWPI 2007 Forums and Expo taking place August 12th to 15th in Boston has announced Jim Cunha is Senior Vice President of the Payments and Treasury Services Group from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His group’s responsibilities include: First District Check Processing, Business Development and ACH support, as well as Wholesale Payment operations support for six Districts. The group is also responsible for two emerging payment businesses for the U.S. Treasury: Stored Value Card (SVC) and Internet Payments Platform (IPP). SVC is a prepaid smartcard based service used by the Department of Defense for domestic training bases and overseas peace-keeping bases. IPP, scheduled for production in late 2007, will help automate the purchase order and invoice exchange processing for US government agencies and their vendors, and will function as a central repository for vendor payment related information. The group works collaboratively with the Boston Research Department to support the Bank’s Emerging Payment Research Group to better understand consumer behaviors towards payments and identify potential incentives and barriers to the adoption of electronic forms or payment. Finally, his group includes a number of areas that support the Federal Reserve System’s Check 21, check image, and ANSI payment standards efforts.
Jim has worked at the Bank since 1984. Prior to that, he worked at Fleet National
Bank. He has a BS in Accounting and Philosophy from Northeastern University and a
BA in Computer Science from Rhode Island College.
