Faster payments: What’s in it for banks and their customers

The Federal Reserve has laid out a plan for faster payments in the U.S. by the year 2020. To reach this milestone, stakeholders across the entire payments ecosystem will have to come together and develop the technologies and processes to support a streamlined, super-charged payments system.
