About This Course
In this class you’ll get a fast, fun, and insightful crash course on the FedNow® Service—America’s new instant payment rail from the Federal Reserve. You’ll learn how it works, who’s involved, and what makes it different from RTP®. From sender to settlement, we’ll walk through a FedNow® transaction step-by-step, explore key features like irrevocability and real-time clearing, and break down exciting use cases—from instant payroll to request-for-payment-enabled bill pay. You’ll also discover how FedNow® benefits financial institutions, businesses, and consumers alike, while addressing technology requirements, compliance considerations, and liquidity needs. Whether you’re a banker, treasury pro, or just payments-curious, this session equips you with the knowledge to understand—and even begin to implement—FedNow® with confidence.
