The Fed’s New Instant Payments System FedNow Goes Live
The Federal Reserve today launched its new system for instant payments, the FedNow Service.
The Federal Reserve today launched its new system for instant payments, the FedNow Service.
The FedNow Service, the Federal Reserve’s real-time payments platform, will launch in July.
At some point between May and July, the Federal Reserve plans to launch its real-time payments system FedNow, and EasCorp’s Cynthia Nelson wants credit unions to get ready.
The Federal Reserve’s new real-time payments system known as FedNow is expected to go live as early as May 2023, a Fed official said Monday.
As the Federal Reserve moves closer to the expected launch next year of its real-time payments system, a survey released last week by the Federal Reserve Banks found that having faster payment capabilities helped drive satisfaction with financial institutions for more than two-thirds of consumers.
Almost two-thirds of businesses would factor in access to faster payments when deciding whether to switch banks in the future, according to a new survey from the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve has narrowed the expected time frame for the launch of its instant payment platform, FedNow Service, but its debut is still at least two years away.
The Federal Reserve’s new real-time payments system will operate seven days a week, including holidays, but its launch date still hasn’t accelerated.
With access to a real-time payments system an important selling point for some business customers, Connecticut’ community banks find themselves at a fork in the road following the Federal Reserve’s decision to launch its own payments network.
