where almost everyone is now banked) and made the case for why the Fed was positioned as the best player to operate a ubiquitous, interoperable real-time payments network – even though the Fed doesn’t have a great track record at payments innovation ( #killthecheck ). Here’s where the canary flew in. it has been since the fall of 2017.

Faster Payments Council (FPC), which will work toward a ubiquitous and secure faster payments system, offering 24/7 availability. Meanwhile, other players in the U.S.
The vacuum created by the absence of a ubiquitous real-time or instant payments scheme has been filled in by private sector innovation, perhaps readily evident in offerings like Zelle and Venmo. Interoperability is Key. Kohli also discussed the concept of reachability, which delivers value in the form of directory services.
faster payments and guide the FPC in its mission to facilitate secure, efficient, and ubiquitous faster payments in the United States. With over three decades as a senior technology executive, Gupta will work alongside other industry leaders and fellow board advisors to help shape the future of U.S.
In recent months, interoperability has become a major buzzword, as some financial players worry that it could be challenging for real-time payment systems to be interoperable, as most schemes require a local settlement account. Those hoping to make instant and same-day payment systems more ubiquitous in the U.S. Conclusions .
is still scrambling to catch up, however, and major financial players are hoping it can achieve its own ubiquitous real-time payments system by next year. The Independent Community Bankers of America and the CUNA requested that the Fed system be interoperable with the private sector’s real-time payment rails. .

2021's results spoke loudly, showing us that the industry is doing more but also wants even more when it comes to ubiquitous faster payments. It also identified interoperability approaches, along with associated settlement schemes that are necessary to create a world-class cross-border payment system.

In just a matter of days, the payments industry will see a significant — and ubiquitous — change in the way payments are sent and received. This means many of the applications will require integrations with other systems — whether they’re back-office systems or payment systems, such as ACH; interoperability with other systems will be key.
