FedNow is live! The Bankers Bank is proud that we were among the first to become fully certified by the Federal Reserve and we are ready to make this product available. We have talked to many of our customers over the past year and have banks that are preparing to implement the service. If we have not talked to you, and you are interested in more detail, please call and we will schedule a visit. If you are preparing to implement FedNow and we can help you, please reach out. The use of this product is predicted to grow slowly, so if you aren’t ready yet, don’t worry, we will be available when you are ready!

ATM withdrawals are declining by 10.1% per year and total 3.7 billion. The full study is available at FederalReservePaymentsStudy@frb.gov.
