It said that by 2020, every­one in the U.S. should be able to receive fast, secure payments.

The tech giants are ask­ing law­makers to man­date that the Fed ensure the avail­ab­il­ity of real-time pay­ment net­works to all Amer­ic­ans within three years, essen­tially turn­ing what is cur­rently a goal into a require­ment for the Fed.”
