What is FedNow?
The FedNow Service is a new instant fast, real time payment infrastructure developed by the Federal Reserve that allows financial institutions of all size across the United States to provide safe and efficient instant payment services. The FedNow service as of early 2023 is in the prototype testing stage in the USA.
Is FedNow replacing cash? Is it a central bank digital currency?
[From the FED] "No. FedNow is not directly related to a digital currency. FedNow is a payment service the Federal Reserve is making available for banks and credit unions to transfer funds. It is like other Federal Reserve payments services, such as Fedwire and FedACH. The FedNow Service is neither a form of currency nor a step toward eliminating any form of payment, including cash.
The FedNow Service is an instant payments service provided by the Federal Reserve, launching in July 2023. FedNow will be available to depository institutions, such as banks and credit unions, in the United States and will enable individuals and businesses to send instant payments through their depository institution accounts. Instant payments allow individuals and businesses to send and receive payments within seconds at any time of the day, on any day of the year, so that the receiver of a payment can use the funds almost instantly."
What are CBDC s?
Central Bank Digital Currency is a digital form of central bank money that is or will be available in many countries to the general public. The CBDC digital currency as of early 2023 is in the late development stage in the USA.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) - Realality or Rumor?
[From the FED] "While the Federal Reserve has made no official decisions on whether to pursue or implement a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, we have been exploring the potential benefits and risks of CBDCs from a variety of angles, including through technological research and experimentation. Our key focus is on whether and how a CBDC could improve on an already safe and efficient U.S. domestic payments system.
CBDC is generally defined as a digital liability of a central bank that is widely available to the general public. Today in the United States, Federal Reserve notes (i.e., physical currency) are the only type of central bank money available to the general public. Like existing forms of money, a CBDC would enable the general public to make digital payments. As a liability of the Federal Reserve, however, a CBDC would be the safest digital asset available to the general public, with no associated credit or liquidity risk.
The Federal Reserve Board has issued a discussion paper that examines the pros and cons of a potential U.S. CBDC. As part of this process, we sought public feedback on a range of topics related to CBDC. The Federal Reserve is committed to hearing a wide range of voices on these topics."
