The Federal Reserve has received a lot of interest, as well as questions, about various aspects of the FedNow Service over the past few months. A number of these questions are specifically related to the payment flow of the service.
To address this, we’ve developed resources to help you better understand how a payment is cleared and settled through the FedNow Service and what role financial institutions play in the process. See our “How the FedNow Service will work” video and payment flow diagram for an overview.
