WASHINGTON–The Federal Reserve has announced the members of the steering committees of both the Faster Payments Task Force and Secure Payments Task Force, with one CU on each task force.
Representatives were elected by the membership to represent stakeholder categories within each task force. Two appointments were made by the Federal Reserve task force chair to ensure that stakeholder perspectives were sufficiently represented.
According to the Fed, the steering committees will advise the Federal Reserve task force chair on meeting agendas and assist in prioritizing the various task force activities.
