The Federal Reserve (Fed) has announced that it will launch a new instant payment service in mid-2023, May through July. The instant payment service is called ‘FedNow’, which was first announced in 2020.
Financial institutions of all sizes will have access to the new payment system. Both customers and businesses will benefit from low costs and near-instant payments.

Esther George, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and executive sponsor of the FedNow program, is pleased with FedNow’s progress.
Today, with FedNows launch date in sight, we are delighted with the collaboration and dedication our pilot participants have brought to advancing modern payments in America.
More than 120 companies, including banks, are participating in a trial of the Fed’s payment system. Payment processors participating in the pilot include Form3, ModusBox Inc., ECS Fin Inc. and Alacriti Payments LLC.
BNY Mellon, FIS, Opus and VSoft are included in the pilot.
All parties participating in the FedNow pilot program go through a certification process. This is done to ensure that all businesses meet the operational requirements for payment services before launch.
During the testing phase, the Fed will contact financial firms and service providers who have not participated in the pilot but are interested in using the service.
There is a monthly service fee of $25 per routing transit number (RTN).
In contrast to traditional credit cards, there is a $0.045 transaction fee paid by the sender per transaction, which includes returns.
Requester-paid request for payment (RFP) messages are charged $0.01. This includes requests for new payments and refunds.
The initial credit transfer transaction amount limit is set at $500,000 (maximum). The default limit is $100,000, but institutions can raise or lower the limit.
Direct debit limits are monitored by central banks and may be adjusted accordingly.
