OVERLAND PARK, Mo. (October 7, 2025) – EPCOR® - Your Electronic Payments Core of Knowledge today announced the recipient of its Payments Innovation Award during EPCOR Payments Conference – Fall 2025 at the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel.
EPCOR President & CEO Brandie Thacker, AAP, CAE, MBA, presented the 2025 Payments Innovation Award to Kevin Miyamoto, Co-Founder of Identifee, in honor of Identifee’s artificial intelligence (AI) customer engagement platform built specifically for banks and credit unions of all sizes.
Identifee's AI solution, known as IDA, enables payments professionals to ask ACH Rules-related questions and provides answers within seconds. This groundbreaking technology also summarizes the Rules, breaking them down for non-payments experts to simplify and enhance compliance. IDA also empowers organizations by eliminating and streamlining manual tasks so that teams can utilize their expertise in the ways that matter.
“When more people adhere to the Rules, it makes the entire network much safer and secure,” explained Co-Founder Kevin Miyamoto, “Identifee's entire platform is built for teams to multiply their productivity. Leveraging IDA for adherence to the Rules is no different.”
“I'm thrilled to announce Identifee as the recipient of our Payments Innovation Award. Identifee's contributions to the payments industry exemplify innovation and excellence, driving forward solutions that redefine the way organizations approach financial technology. For financial institutions to remain relevant and competitive, embracing technology is essential, and Identifee's innovative solutions provide a powerful way to achieve this. Identifee has been a tremendous partner to EPCOR and our shared members and clients, helping them navigate the evolving payments landscape with cutting-edge tools and insights. Congratulations to Identifee, and to Co-Founder Kevin Miyamoto for accepting this award on their behalf!”
