While the United States has lagged historically in its development of real-time payments, the adoption of emerging U.S. rails is unquestionably on the rise. Both The Clearing House’s RTP® network and the Federal Reserve’s FedNow® Service have recorded significant achievements in the past year, with combined daily volumes routinely topping 1 million transactions.
