12:45pm-1:25pmCT: Panel Session – The Next Step for Faster Payments: Interoperability (City Beautiful Ballroom AB)
It’s time to prepare for the launch of FedNow. With the system joining the existing RTP system, both promising to modernize the way money moves and allow for greater use of instant payments, it seems the shift to real-time payments is 'inevitable'. Whether we will see these services gain traction is tied to what many believe to be a major hurdle–interoperability. FedNow may not interoperate with RTP, and it doesn’t seem to be a priority for either. Some banks may not be able to connect to both.
Speakers: Elizabeth McQuerry, Glenbrook Partners; Mike Sklow, Goldman Sachs; Samson Rajan; JP Morgan; Miriam Sheril, Form3
1:30pm-2:10pmCT: Panel Session – Business End-Users Mega Use Cases (City Beautiful Ballroom AB)
