FedNow is an instant payment system developed by the United States Federal Reserve. It allows for round-the-clock, near-instant payments between banks. Currently, U.S. residents can only make instant payments domestically through third-party apps such as PayPal (NASDAQ:) and Venmo, or crypto wallets. The Federal Reserve has stated that the new service will launch in July.
