It seems like credit unions haven't been signing up to onboard FedNow℠ as much as the Fed would like. I've noticed most "articles" about FedNow℠ the past few weeks have been trying to convince credit unions to sign up.
For example:
What value can the FedNow Service deliver to your credit union?
How financial institutions can meet the demand for instant payments.news.cuna.org
Their newest advertisement features a credit union, too.
Oh, and FedNow℠ absolutely, definitely isn't a step towards a CBDC despite it being a retail/consumer product. The Fed says so.
