We believe that industry collaboration with diverse payment stakeholders is paramount to the success of the Federal Reserve’s payments improvement initiatives. Our commitment to stakeholder engagement is what led us to create the FedPayments Improvement Community back in 2015, and remains the driving force behind the enhancements we’re introducing today. As first described in Federal Reserve Next Steps in the Payments Improvement Journey (PDF), the enhanced FedPayments Improvement Community aims to provide opportunities for all stakeholders to engage in our full portfolio of payments improvement initiatives.
To better help you take advantage of the improvements, here is a summary of the changes and the actions you can take as a new or existing member to get the most out of the enhanced FedPayments Improvement Community:
