The Clearing House (TCH) has appointed Keith Melton as senior vice president and real-time payments (RTP) strategic programme manager.
Based in Atlanta, Melton will report to Margaret Weichert, chief product officer.
He will be responsible for TCH’s instant payments strategy and, in particular, the growth of the RTP network, a modern platform for domestic real-time payments.
Melton has more than 20 years of experience in financial services and technology. He joins TCH from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At the Federal Reserve Financial Services, he was senior vice president and head of product management for all payment services across the Federal Reserve System.

David Watson, president and CEO of TCH, says: “We are happy to have Keith join The Clearing House as the RTP network continues to expand. Keith’s experience with running product management for multiple national payment services will be an asset that helps the RTP network continue to be the industry’s leader in instant payments innovation.”

Joining the TCH team is an exciting opportunity.”
