Key Highlights
- FedNow is a new instant payment system that is being launched in a phased manner, staring from July 2023. The system operates on a 24/7/365 basis. As of September 2023, there were 57 participating financial institutions. Once the system has been fully rolled out, it will offer P2P, consumer-to-business, consumer-to-government, government-to-consumer, business-to-consumer, business-to-business, business-to-government, and account-to-account payments. The default payment limit is $100,000 per transaction, but financial institutions can raise the limit to $500,000.
- The US credit and charge card market is currently being affected by geopolitical challenges such as the Russia/Ukraine crisis and high inflation. To tame inflation, the Federal Reserve is gradually increasing its benchmark interest rate. In March 2022, the rate was revised from 0.25% to 0.50%, before soaring to 5.25-5.50% as of September 2023. Until inflation returns to a more manageable range, this strategy is expected to continue. As a result, credit card APRs are also increasing. As per the Federal Reserve, the average APR on credit cards rose from 15.05% in 2019 to 20.68% as of May 2023, highlighting that credit is now more expensive in the country.
- US consumers are increasingly using contactless debit cards, with banks rolling out such cards to meet this demand. According to The 2023 PULSE Debit Issuer Study, the number of debit cards with contactless functionality in the US rose from 56.6% in 2021 to 70.2% in 2022. The study claims that most issuers are working towards 100% migration to contactless debit cards by the end of 2023. Meanwhile, as per Visa data, 34% of face-to-face card payments made using Visa debit and credit cards in the US were contactless as of April 2023 - up from 20% in January 2022. Visa revealed that in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Seattle, San Diego, Oakland, and Miami, contactless card payments account for over 40% of card payments.
