Orlando, Fla., May 7, 2019 – Today, Nacha and its Payments Innovation Alliance, jointly  with the U.S. Faster Payments Council, are announcing a collaboration to further develop the FasterPayments Playbook, an educational and online decisioning platform that will help banks, credit unions and businesses develop a faster payments strategy – from concept to reality.

The Playbook will be a co-branded industry resource developed by the two groups that will address faster payments developments and opportunities for stakeholders. The first iteration of the Playbook will focus on financial institutions of all sizes and types – including credit unions, and community and regional banks – followed by a version for business end-users.

The Alliance, comprised of a diverse membership of corporates, third-party processors, fintechs and financial institutions, with its broad understanding of the payments environment, is playing a crucial role in helping organizations gain clarity on the topic of faster payments. The Faster Payments Project Team was formed in June 2018 and currently consists of more than 60 organizations.

Comprised of more than 150 financial institutions, payment network operators, technology providers, business end users, consumer organizations and others, the U.S. Faster Payments Council (FPC) is a new membership organization whose goal is to advance the U.S. payment system so that Americans can safely and securely pay anyone, anywhere, at any time with near-immediate funds availability. In the few short months since its launch, the FPC has introduced three work groups designed to address immediate industry needs: safety and security; end-user transparency; and education and awareness.

“The Alliance brings together a diverse group of industry leaders to gain insights and develop resources for the industry to use to navigate the quickly changing financial services environment,” said Jane Larimer, chief operating officer of Nacha. “The Faster Payments Project Team has been working for almost a year to develop faster payments resources, including the Playbook. The group is now looking forward to working with the FPC to leverage

the strengths of both groups to better serve the entire industry as it navigates the evolving faster payments landscape.”

“Our partnership on the Faster Payments Playbook directly supports the efforts of the FPC’s education and awareness work group,” said Kevin Christensen, FPC’s acting executive director and interim board chair. “The FPC is about progress—about moving the collective industry forward. We see this Playbook as a key step in supporting that vision.”

The Alliance and the FPC unveiled a prototype of the online Playbook as a preview for the industry at Smarter. Faster. PAYMENTS 2019, which will be held today through May 8 in Orlando.
