Launch of FedNow - Overview of Service and Value
The FedNow Service is a new instant payment infrastructure developed by the Federal Reserve that allows financial institutions of every size across the U.S. to provide safe and efficient instant payment services. The program launched in July 2023.
Through financial institutions participating in the FedNow Service, businesses and individuals can send and receive instant payments in real time, around the clock, every day of the year. Financial institutions and their service providers can use the service to provide innovative instant payment services to customers, and recipients will have full access to funds immediately, allowing for greater financial flexibility when making time-sensitive payments.
Our speaker, Phil Sprague, will cover the history of payments evolution including how FedNow will play a critical role across the industry to fill critical needs. Phil’s dialogue will provide an overview of the FedNow service flow and benefits, participation and use cases.
