March 8, 2022 – Fintech trailblazer BillGO is proud to be featured in the Federal Reserve’s new FedNow℠ Service Provider Showcase, an online resource designed to connect financial institutions (FIs) looking to adopt and innovate upon the FedNow Service with service providers offering instant payment solutions.
“We’re excited to be part of the FedNow Service Provider Showcase,” said Jay Plueger, BillGO’s SVP of Corporate Development & Alliances. “By leveraging FedNow when it launches in 2023, it will allow BillGO to continue delivering on our promise to provide consumers, billers and FIs with speed, choice and intelligence in the bill payment ecosystem.
BillGO plans to offer instant payment services to any organization that adopts the FedNow Service. Not only will this enable instant payments, it will expand BillGO’s network of networks, which supports all stakeholders in the payment ecosystem.
“The FedNow Service will fit directly into our current bill pay model,” said Plueger. “This will be beneficial to consumers, because it means they will be able to make real-time payments to businesses. But businesses benefit as well, because it will enable true real-time business-to-business payments.”
“We appreciate the commitment of BillGO to enabling FedNow adoption and participating in the showcase,” said Nick Stanescu, Federal Reserve Bank senior vice president and FedNow business executive. “The time is now for organizations to identify and connect with partners they’ll need to build the end-to-end solutions the market is demanding.”
The FedNow Service is a new instant payment platform the Federal Reserve Banks are launching in 2023 to provide financial institutions of every size, and in any location across the nation, access to safe and efficient instant payment services in real time, 24 hours a day.
