Conference about Faster Payments: Evolution or Revolution?

Faster Payments in the UK was heavily bundled with other services, while other countries, Australia, for example, are pulling apart their offering and creating a core piece for clearing.

This may or may offer competitive advantages. That leaves every application outside the core system, offered by banks or nonfinancial companies, the ability to provide ancillary services.

The existing systems and networks are vying for position to lead, follow, or get out of the way of what may come. Technologists are looking for standards on which to build such a system where none exist in the U. S. The UK system was built on one standard technology allowing it to be completed in record time.

Why should you Attend: 
The Federal Reserve Bank's report, Strategies for Improving the U.S. Payment System and industry analysts are recommending a new US payments system. They are suggesting a system modeled on the one implemented in the United Kingdom. This would have an interesting effect on the Automated Clearing House (ACH), The Clearing House (TCH), Fedwire, and U.S. payments in general. Many banks have begun to think of faster payments as inevitable. Given that mobile payments have become 'real-time', its land-based forerunner will need to catch up as well as an estimated 20 or more countries around the globe.
