Without further ado, we are pleased to announce that the Faster Payments Task Force and Secure Payments Task Force are open for registration! For those of you who don’t know, the formation of these task forces is one of the first milestones to come out of our Strategies for Improving the U.S. Payment System (PDF) paper released on January 26, 2015.
The Faster Payments Task Force will identify and evaluate alternative approaches for implementing safe and ubiquitous faster payments capabilities in the United States. The Secure Payments Task Force will advise the Federal Reserve on payment security matters, coordinate with the Faster Payments Task Force and determine areas of focus and priorities for future action to advance payment system safety, security and resiliency. Participating in one of these task forces will provide payment system stakeholders with a unique opportunity to put their knowledge and experience to work improving the nation’s payment system.
Now, you’re probably wondering: “What does it take to be on a task force?” and “How do I get involved and find out more?”
