Inaugural Awards Program

Honoring the People and Organizations Shaping Faster Payments

The U.S. Faster Payments Council (FPC) is pleased to announce the formal launch of its inaugural Annual Awards Program. This program has been established to recognize, celebrate, and honor outstanding contributions within our membership that directly reflect the FPC’s vision: a world-class payment system where Americans can safely and securely pay anyone, anywhere, at any time with near-immediate funds availability.

Through these accolades, the FPC seeks to shine a spotlight on the exemplary efforts, collaborative spirit, and unwavering commitment required to drive ubiquity, education, security, and innovation across the faster payments industry.  Awards will be presented annually at the FPC Fall Member Meeting, and sponsorship opportunities are available to FPC members.
