The payments ecosystem isn’t just changing, it’s accelerating rapidly. From instant payment rails scaling to handle multi-million-dollar transactions to the ACH Rules continuing to evolve to address fraud, sanctions and international processing, financial institutions are facing a pivotal moment. Payment Systems Update is designed to help you stay ahead of the curve with actionable insights, regulatory clarity and peer-driven perspectives.
This year’s agenda features two timely, high-impact sessions that address the operational, compliance and strategic challenges payments professionals face today:
Instant Payments in Motion: RTP® & FedNow®
Instant payments in the U.S. are no longer “emerging” — they’re fully in motion. As both the RTP® Network and the FedNow® Service continue to expand, financial institutions must understand not only where adoption stands today but also how new capabilities are reshaping real-world payment use-cases.
This forward-looking session dives into the latest developments across both rails, beginning with participant growth and the impact of per-transaction limit increases to $10 million, which was effective for the RTP® Network in February 2025 and the FedNow® Service in November 2025. These higher limits are unlocking significant new opportunities, from Business-to-Business (B2B) payments and treasury operations to time-sensitive emergency disbursements, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) utilization of the FedNow® Service.
Don’t Stop Believin’ (in Compliance): Your ACH Rules Update
ACH may be mature, but the rules governing it are anything but static. Staying compliant requires constant attention, especially as new fraud risks and regulatory expectations emerge.
This session provides a clear, actionable overview of the latest ACH Rules amendments that financial institutions should be prioritizing now to prepare for 2026 and beyond:
- New fraud monitoring requirements designed to combat credit-push fraud
- Enhancements to International ACH Transaction (IAT) processing, including:
- Required registration of IAT contacts in the ACH Contact Registry
- Inclusion of an individual’s date of birth in IAT entries
- A new Return Reason Code supporting sanctions compliance obligations
Designed to cut through complexity, this session equips you with the knowledge needed to strengthen controls, streamline internal processes and confidently meet evolving compliance expectations.
