Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- FedNow is a live, Fed-operated, rapidly growing (458.9% YoY volume growth in 2025) production rail with 1,400+ participating institutions and hundreds of billions in quarterly settlement value; big-bank coverage has improved sharply since launch (Citigroup, PNC, and Capital One joined in 2025-2026, leaving Bank of America as the last major holdout), but remaining coverage gaps, no RTP interop, and irrevocability/fraud risk mean it cannot yet be assumed as a universal US instant-payment default.
- Next
- Confirm receiving institution's FedNow participation before defaulting settlement to FedNow rails — Bank of America remains the sole big-bank holdout as of the last verified check (Nov 2025); Citigroup, PNC, and Capital One have since joined. Keep RTP/ACH fallback since FedNow and RTP are not interoperable; treat FedNow transfers as irrevocable in fraud-review design given the 2025 $10M per-transaction ceiling.
